FACES OF PENN FOSTER

“My name is Wideline. I am 26 years old, Haitian, and I am living with my four sisters and my mother in my native country. We are Christian. I have obtained my diploma of license in Management through Institut Universitaire Quisqueya-Amerique with Universite Quebec A Montreal ( INUQUA) / UQAM. In addition, I am studying for an Associate Degree in Finance at Penn Foster College through distance learning, a choice that I do not regret. I also have a lot of experiences working in Finance. After I get my degree, I would like to continue my studies getting a master’s degree while using my knowledge to serve others.”

WELCOME TO THE COMMUNITY!

In his June 2010 Alpha Social Media article entitled, The Light House Concept, author Jeff Brown reflects on what it would take to turn his beloved Truro, Nova Scotia, into a viable eCommunity modeled on “knowledge communities” in the United States and Canada. According to Brown, “The whole vision of these communities is focused on learning. They work to help increase literacy and foster ideas that promote learning as a way of life.” Further to this end, Brown goes on to state, “I see an eCommunity as a community that is not only fostering learning but is focused on connecting and communicating electronically for business or personal use.”

Here at Penn Foster we are striving to develop our own eCommunity as a place where our students can interact with staff and each other to enhance their learning experience. Penn Foster eCampus is a place where students can ask questions about their studies and career-related information, but moreover, it is also a means by which students can gain motivation from others.
