<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> Insurance is
now becoming a crucial thing to have. Many people want to have it to protect
themselves as well as their beloved people. There are various kinds of
insurance, which people can have. For example, people can have health
insurance, which can give financial help in terms of health care. It means
that, when they are ill, they can use health insurance to get lower price for
particular health care service. Besides, people can also have </span><a href="http://www.lifeinsurancerates.com/"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">life insurance</span></a><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">. Unfortunately, not all people can have the affordable insurance
to protect them and their beloved family. It seems that finding the affordable
insurance is not that easy to do.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Well, now it is no longer a problem because you
can join with other people who have already found the affordable insurance for
their life. Maybe you are asking about where they found the good agency.
Instead of visiting the agent or going to an insurance provider’s office, they
can find the best insurance policies through the internet. Recently, you can
find a directory site for choosing life insurance. You can access the site and
getting the complete information about a particular insurance provider,
including their price and their rate. Then, you can compare two or some
providers before choosing one.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The presence of </span><a href="http://www.carinsurancerates.com/"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">car insurance</span></a><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> is meant to help
people get a fullest and maximum protection. Every car owner must be protected
under insurance policies. Your premium cost can be either high or low. It
depends on several aspects such as your car value, types of coverage you
choose, your driving habit, your driving record, and discounts you may get.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> The number of coverage you choose will affect
your premium cost. That is why you should shop around and compare quotes from
multi insurance companies. By that, your chance to get the cheapest and the
most affordable insurance will be much wider. How valuable your car is will
give a very significant effect for your premium cost. If you own a luxury car,
the premium cost may be much higher. What is more, both driving habit and
driving record will also define your premium cost. When you have a bad driving
record, you will be assumed as a careless driver. As the result, the insurer
will think that you need a full protection and charge you with a higher premium
cost. Every car insurance company will also have kinds of discounts to offer.
Thus, you should be active finding information related to how you can be
eligible to get the discounts.</span></span></div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Among the most famous sorts of feedback are badges and accomplishments. These started out life within the Microsoft Xbox 360 through the 'Gamer Score', when gamers enhance their ranking by earning 'achievements' (so-called) for performing certain actions in videogames. Basically, you'd earn achievements for completing a level, or something similar. Quite often, they have some numerical worth according to the perceived difficulty of performing the duty (100 points to save the world, 10 points for saving your puppy), nevertheless they may be as obscure or fanciful as game developers' chooses - in the videogame 'Saints Row 2', individuals get an achievement when their in-game avatar sings with the radio.</div>
<div id="chitikaSelectBeacon862" style="color: #333333; float: left; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">
</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Achievements are appealing since they have no normal value: they don't allow access to added content, or capabilities, or skills.The truth is, they don't offer any solid benefit at all. They're simply goals which arise to congratulate the player for something. But far from being a straightforward record of feats reached, achievements influence how individuals play games, having the capacity to offer different and unusual objectives from that of the game.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Consequently it's no surprise that achievements are now being implemented in the e-learning market, as part of the 'gamification' of learning. A paper from the Worcester Polytechnic Institute found that "by including game-like aspects just like the understanding of achievements into learning, students are more inclined to find learning to be a fun endeavor."</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
On a basic level, successes can be in essence to any sort of graphical responses induced by fulfilling requirements: it can be a progress bar that fills up, or badges that show up on your account, in relation to targeted exercises or general advancement. The one criterion is that there's some illustration of advancement - the users are able to see, by some arbitrary measure, they've made some type of progress.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
In addition to being excellent for user determination, achievements can really help retain users. Codecademy does something to this effect with the streak: users are encouraged to continue their streak, which includes a history of their greatest streak conspicuously shown on their profile, providing them encouragement to return to the content.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
These benefits of motivation and retention shouldn't be unnoticed when devising your mobile learning content: the growing capacities of mobile devices mean increasingly rich distractions a little finger tap away. Retain individuals with achievements, and help keep them motivated when they feel they may be distracted.</div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Providing a variety of e-learning courses is not enough to keep your popularity intact. Soon you may find the number of registrations dipping lower for your classes and thus adversely affecting your revenue generation strategies. You must have already started thinking on how you can rewind back to those days when people eagerly awaited to enroll in your classes. You must work on making your e-learning classes all the more interesting and appealing and a good way to do is to have a look at the following points that I have discussed below.</div>
<div id="chitikaSelectBeacon11" style="color: #333333; float: left; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">
</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Introduce More Interactive Sessions</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
I Increase the number of interactive sessions to communicate more frequently with students. Select a date and time for these interactive sessions and in such meetings, discuss and debate on areas that need improvement. Encourage the learners to come up with questions so that instructors get the opportunity to resolve matters in real-time. Communication is crucial for the success of every project and thus you should ensure it is done with utmost care in case of online education.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Reward Your Students</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
You must reward top performers in your online classes. Rewards act as great motivators for people and therefore giving certificates or small tokens of appreciation to students can inspire them to perform even better and fetch high grades in examinations.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Come Up with New Ideas</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
There is no ground to believe that individuals who have enrolled for your e-learning class cannot offer you new ideas for better class conduct and management. Hence, ask them to come up with innovative ideas that will help manage the class in a much better fashion and in a professional manner. Of course, it is you who will take the final call but constructive suggestions always welcome. You may come across concepts and ideas that may be really helpful. In this way you will also be able to gather individual opinions and feedback about the rate of success or failure of your classes.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Is Your Course Adding Real Value?</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
While much is being said about interaction and rewards, what actually matters to a potential student is how far the course will help him fulfill his dreams in order to build up a successful career. Thus, first and foremost, as a class organizer, you should try to develop courses and programs which are in demand. Do a thorough research on what exactly the target audience is searching for on the internet - the type of degree or diploma programs that is getting the highest number of registrations every year, etc. Based on the study, try to chalk out an effective plan with immediate short term or long term consequences.</div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
While distance education is very beneficial to many students there are some factors about online college that students may want to consider. With everything good come negative aspects as well. Many of the disadvantages of online colleges and universities are depleting some still remain. It is important to note however, that a lot of these factors are determined by the student.</div>
<div id="chitikaSelectBeacon876" style="color: #333333; float: left; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">
</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Here are the top 5 cons of online education:</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
1. Diploma Mills</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
With the success of online colleges on the rise we have seen the uprising of diploma mills as well. A diploma mill is a place that will sell you a fake diploma. If the school offers a diploma for sale with little or no class participation required then it's a diploma mill. Make sure that the school that you choose is accredited, this type of problem can be avoided. And keep in mind that a phony diploma doesn't get you the job.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
2. You are in charge of your success!</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Being a student at home can be a huge benefit to someone with a busy schedule. It can also be a major distraction. Most times students who take online courses take them whenever it is convenient, at home, at work, at the middle of the night. Being a student on your own time and terms can make it hard to focus. Students that attend a traditional setting are basically forced to pay attention to the lecture when they are in the same room with their professor for an allotted amount of time. It can be hard to study when you are distracted by your kids, or your job, or whatever surrounds you. With online courses, your success depends totally on you and your ability to manage yourself and stay on task.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
3. There is not much interaction with others</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Some college courses require you to interact with other students on the internet, other than that the interaction that you have with other students is dramatically decreased. The whole college life experience is quite different when you are taking courses online. To some this can be detrimental. If you are looking for a whole college social experience, online courses may not be for you. While you may not have the same "experience" as someone who attends a traditional college, you will certainly gain the same education.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
4. There can be technical problems</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Online college courses are computer and internet based making them highly prone to technical glitches. It is important to have a computer that works well and a stable internet connection. Yet, even the most fool-proof systems can cause problems for teachers and students. These problems are on the decline but it is important to note that you may experience technical difficulties.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
5. Standardization of coursework and materials has not yet been completed</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Even though you may be going to an accredited school and earning a high quality education that does not mean that you are earning the same education as students in the same program at different schools. Schools use different class content and course materials. This problem is thought to soon be solved in the next few years however, because accreditation agencies are working on standardizing the coursework and materials.</div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Albert Einstein once said,"Learning is not a product of schooling but the lifelong attempt to acquire it." The Internet has made learning materials available 24 hours a day, turning all information seekers into learners. E-learning development software is increasingly being used in the market today, but it will not be actually replacing conventional modes of learning. Instead, it will help to create a platform that would make the process of learning wholesome.</div>
<div id="chitikaSelectBeacon381" style="color: #333333; float: left; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">
</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
There are many advantages of getting e-learning solutions from companies. These solutions help to deploy training faster, by creating content within weeks and publishing it soon for widespread access. Mobile learning can be conducted through various platforms, such as Symbian, Android, iOS and Blackberry OS, such that training can be imparted on the move, irrespective of the location. Powerful tools can be used to promote sessions, courses and curriculum, to maximize training attendance.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Two models of e-learning can be considered here- one of them brings learners in front of their computers at a specific time, to interact with their instructors. It is more similar to conventional classroom teaching, where the instructor uses virtual blackboards to elaborate concepts and clears doubts via chat. This is a synchronous model of learning. The other model is asynchronous, where learners can choose their own time. This lends flexibility to the process of learning, and students are permitted to access recorded lectures, in audio and video form.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Students in asynchronous kind of online learning are permitted to access the recorded videos and audios for lectures. In fact, a learner also gets personalized attention, through this model.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Using e-learning development software, community-based learning can be facilitated. One can learn a lot from other individual learners, through modes of discussion and interaction. This makes the online form of education more cost-effective, instead of only attending regular classes.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
An effective learning management system (LMS) ensures that people do not learn just for the sake of learning, but do so to close skill and competency gaps. They do not just improve the contribution of an employee in a current role, but also prepare him for a future role. The organization will also be able to monitor progress of employees through LMS tools.</div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
With the growth of social media and the Internet, more people than ever before are gaining their Certificate and Diploma qualifications (particularly the Cert IV in Training and Assessment) through the 'untraditional' mode of online or distance study. However, many critics pose the question of whether an education gain through online learning holds the same credibility and authority as one acquired through traditional face to face learning.</div>
<div id="chitikaSelectBeacon854" style="color: #333333; float: left; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">

<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Many Vocational Education and Training courses are offered online in a bid to eliminate geographical limitations - particularly useful to mature aged students.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Critics believe that social interaction with peers plays a significant role in the learning process and is central to education. To combat this, many training institutions focus on heavy interaction with students and require work place training as part of the unit or course curriculum.</div>

<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">However, with the advent of technology, things have become quite easy for students. The online essay writing services educate the students how to write a good essay.</span></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Consider these simple steps and become a professional essay writer:</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
1. Consider essay as a process and not a task bounded with deadlines. You have to consider reading, thinking, planning and organizing your thoughts. You have to understand the topic and study about the topic. Primary research is very important before drafting your thoughts. Once you are finished with research process, start thinking creatively about the topic and make notes or pointers, which will help you during documentation process.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
2. The blank screen or paper in front of you while drafting essay is the most difficult part of the process. You must sketch out a plan before writing. Once you have written down your points, start assembling these points. Give each point a logical heading; this will help you to elaborate your points. These will later develop into paragraphs of your essay.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The most important subheads will include:</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
An introduction, which will explain the sources of your study</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Main body, which is an analysis of your topic. It will include the opinions, comments and findings. You can quote about some scientific research or media studies.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Conclusion is where you force the reader to accept your points. You can conclude with quotes or even end with a question that will boggle reader's mind.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
All these points will give you an outline to your essay writing. Do not stick to one point. This makes the reader disinterested in your writing.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
3. Your correct English is the most compelling part of essay writing. Use simple but correct English. Your essay may not be flowery in writing but must have substance in the subject. If it is argumentative, you must collect enough data to make it genuine. To improve on these points you must read many editorial sections from magazines or newspapers.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
4. Try to make a rough draft of your essay before submission. You must read it aloud and look for any changes if required. If your essay is long or it is a dissertation, you must prepare small drafts of paragraphs and then try to focus on each paragraph. Try to make pointers on these paragraphs, which will help you during the assembly of all paragraphs. Do not lose track of your point or argument. In case if you are lost, refer to points.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
5. Essays are small samples of knowledge. You cannot elaborate on an endless discussion. You must give it a strong voice and back up with supportive arguments and discussions. The essay must invoke reader's thought process. Keep everything in moderation. Do not lose your focus.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Essay is an array of thoughts and ideas. Right alignment of thought process with strong command over English develops a person from good essay writer to professional essay writer.</div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The advent of internet and technology has not just made our lives easier, but also brought many facilities to our doorstep. The education industry for instance has been completely revolutionized with the online education platform.

Professionals looking to finish their education or adding to their credentials and skill set are greatly benefitted by the innumerable online courses available today.</div>
<div id="chitikaSelectBeacon990" style="color: #333333; float: left; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">
</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
This trend is being greatly realized and more and more organizations are waking up to its many benefits. Now that the misconceptions and apprehensions regarding the effectiveness of education and degree earned through an online medium have been removed, online education is gaining popularity over traditional classroom education.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The main advantage offered by an online course is the flexibility of scheduling and the wide range of choices. Owing to busy schedules, most professionals opt out of further studies in order to carry on the responsibilities of their work life and jobs. When questioned about it, as many as 78% professionals expressed a desire to study further, but could not follow through due to reasons relating to lack of time, busy schedules, responsibilities and even high prices and commuting problems in case of on-campus programs.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
On close inspection, you would find that maximum points out of the above are resolved by online education, thus the popularity!

The lessons are taught online by highly experienced and extremely proficient faculty. There is effective interaction between faculty members and students in every study group. Students raise question and get their problems solved on the spot by the teacher through chat or through emails. There is a healthy discussion among batchmates in every batch and some pertinent and quality questions are raised and discussed. The interaction in the group is aided by online face to face chats. This builds healthy work relations and encourages peer group learning.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The benefits and positive points from the traditional method of classroom learning have been incorporated into online learning. An online course can be opted by professionals of all ages and from any sector or field of work. This makes an online study group a melting pot of people from different professional experiences and educational backgrounds.</div>

It's true that an on-campus program confers a sense of belongingness and a lifelong alumni status to a student. However, this need of students opting for online education has also been catered to by top colleges that now offer lifelong alumni status, access to library, and other such perks enjoyed by full-time students.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
It is important that before opting for a program and study group, one familiarizes oneself with the batchmates and makes sure he / she is compatible and comfortable with them. This is required because the timings and schedules of classes are generally decided with a mutual consent and availability of most students.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Also, it is important to ensure that the institute from where one decides to pursue a course is accredited and enjoys a good status. Apart from this, online education and a degree earned online is now at par with on-campus education and enjoys the same status.</div>
