Meet real AC Online students and learn about their online learning journeys
I was ready to start a new career and I wanted to follow my passion that I've known about for a long time, but never had the courage to follow.
I had never done an online course before, but I thought I’d be alone and at my computer doing my own thing – but I was not alone at all.
With online learning, I can choose when to study, which has allowed me to spend more time hiking and traveling, all while staying on top of my studies.
Taking courses online is a much easier way to be able to manage work-life balance. Learning at Algonquin really gives you the confidence to move forward.
"I feel like the education on our reserve… it’s not where it should be. I wanted to be that good role model for my kids to show them that you can push through anything."
As someone who had a significant shift in careers, Algonquin College was an essential step.
My advice to anyone, if you're considering AC Online, is just go for it. Go for it as fast as you can. No regrets whatsoever.
I was very impressed with the depth of the coursework as well as with the accessibility for adult learners who would not be able to participate otherwise.
A journey illustrating how even the darkest clouds have bright silver linings. Balancing school, a pandemic, a social life, a full-time job, and making the honour roll.
I saw the need for Inuktitut/Inuktut-speaking early childhood educators; and my daughter inspired me to take the Algonquin College online program.
I found that the more I put in, the more meaningful the work became. I was finally in my zone.
I have two small kids. AC Online was a natural choice for me. I had a family to care for and a routine to maintain.
I didn't know if I would have the time to return to college between my work, my family and my sports, but I knew that I couldn’t give up.
I’m a mom of two and a kindergarten educator. Though I’m passionate about my job, I felt like I needed a change.
Not only did I learn course material offered by my program, I also further developed skills like researching, time management, & socializing.
This program, especially with AC Online, has allowed me to discover myself, my needs, my learning styles, my desired classes, and much more.
AC Online gave me the opportunity to refocus my time and to really understand what's important for me and what I should be prioritizing in my life as a whole.
Even though I commute to work and take the GO Train for an hour, I could read everything that I need to get caught up.
Being able to do online courses from British Columbia and being able to expand and not uproot was huge.
