The Psychology of Online Pschology Degrees

A word for our sponsors at Capella University . . .

Our sponsors at Capella University have recently had much to celebrate.  One of their faculty, a professor of psychology has published an interesting book on motivating people by keying in to their ideals and inspiring them to do things for idealistic reasons.

This motivational method can be used in the workplace, the classroom or even in politics.  It might be argued even that its a latent practice exercised already by many great leaders including John Kennedy, who used it to inspire people to go to the moon and create the peace corp.

Capella provides an online psychology degree program through their university and there are many interesting reasons why obtaining a degree online can help to propel people in their future careers.  Learning how to learn online prepares people for a job market that is more and more looking for problem solvers capable of finding their own solutions.  In a world where the mundane tasks are automated, it is more and more important for employers to find people that can handle the extra complex problems left over that can't yet be automated.
