Master in Public Health

I recently completed my Master in Public Health awarded by GMU, Italy  through UniAthena, and the experience was truly exceptional. The distance learning format provided incredible flexibility, allowing me to balance my studies with my professional and personal commitments seamlessly. The courses were very well-designed, with comprehensive and engaging materials that made learning both enjoyable and effective. Throughout my journey, the support from my tutors was invaluable; they were always available to provide guidance, answer questions, and offer encouragement. My dissertation tutor, Ms. Ankita Jawalkar, was particularly remarkable, offering insightful feedback and unwavering support that was instrumental in shaping my dissertation and gave me the confidence to produce a high-quality piece of innovative research. The programme itself was ideally structured, facilitating a deep understanding of public health principles while equipping me with practical skills applicable in the real world. Ultimately, UniAthena’s commitment to excellence and education is evident, and I am grateful for the enriching experience.

Master in Public Administration

Life brought me to places I had not anticipated. During the COVID outbreak, I found myself working on projects for the local government, although I have always aspired to be internationally inclined. I thought I had done the best I could with what I had. However, I encountered numerous issues specific to local government administration. Alternatively, I could have stayed focused on my specific tasks or moved to another job. Ultimately, I opted for the third option, and that was to acquire a deeper understanding of the public administration as a whole. Following a thorough research of the various educational options, UniAthena emerged as the clear choice. 

I am proud to announce that I just completed the Master in Public Administration with distinction, and I am glad I chose  UniAthena . A combination of an affordable price and   teaching style proved to be the perfect match for me. With each module emphasizing a different aspect of public administration, I was able to gain a holistic and in-depth understanding of the subject matter. The assignments proved most valuable to me since they allowed me to thoroughly research the area of study and apply it to real-world scenarios. In addition, the reading materials and the subsequent tests were fairly good in conjunction with the video lessons. At times, it was hard for me to keep my priorities straight and focus on the study, especially since I also had to work and manage DBA simultaneously. Having completed the Master's degree, I am happy and content with my decision.

Lastly, I want to thank my supervisors and tutors, Priyadarshini Jha, Sayali Joshi, and Ankita Jawalkar, for helping me to complete the modules and earn my  Master in Public Administration . They were very professional and knowledgeable and provided a framework that enabled us to succeed, while also remaining flexible when needed. I believe it is always a good idea to work with people smarter than you. I think this challenging yet rewarding educational journey made me an even savvier person.

Postgraduate Diploma in Sustainability, Environment, Health and Safety Management

This course has given me a remarkable turnaround by lifting me from the traditional work culture to a modern-day safety-first culture. It has also enhanced my knowledge of regulations, policies, and procedures regarding occupational health and safety awareness. With this course, I have developed many qualities such as cultivating a culture of safety, workplace ethics, and so on. Again, my understanding of workplace hazards, especially ergonomics, has been raised to a large extent. I can now figure out potential dangers associated with work patterns, tools, and methods. Finally, though not limited to the above, the course is loaded with enough resource materials, and with good content which are all tailored to our technologies, skills, and innovations.

Business Man

Thanks to UniAthena’s courses, I transformed my small shop into a thriving marketplace using the social media marketing skills I gained. In just two months, my business expanded rapidly.

My experience with UniAthena's  Business Management course was a game-changer. After earning my certificate, I learned how to handle any business. I started with a small shop, and after a month of applying what I learned, I expanded to two shops. I created a marketplace in my village and used social media marketing skills that I gained on UniAthena.

Before Eid al-Fitr, my villagers rented all six shops, and I added a large park area and a big industrial flour mill. In just two months, my business grew rapidly. My family and I are very happy that I started my own business in my village.

Previously, I worked in Dammam, KSA, at Bin Delamah Cont Co. as a safety officer for five years. That experience shifted my mindset from working to running a business.

Thanks to  UniAthena for offering such valuable short courses online in a short time.

Jonathan Damian Poh

Founder & CEO

Earning this  doctorate title offers me an authoritative voice when I extend my help and services to my corporate clients and their organisations. Thank you, UniAthena.

My doctoral journey has been an engaging and fulfilling one so far. Despite my unusual circumstances in embarking on this journey, the openness and continuous support from the academic team, especially Dr. Sree (my supervisor), were highly commendable and appreciated. She has dedicated time and effort to guide and nudge me in my research work. Credit also goes to the Uniathena admin team, specifically Vandana, who has always been at hand to reach out and help. At  UniAthena , student care is world-class.

My research work provides the peak to my academic pursuit and, at the same time, the validation of the professional work that I do. This surely offers me an authoritative voice when I extend my help and services to my corporate clients and their organisations. Thank you, UniAthena.

Judith Sofia Kisalu Kindomba

Administrative Manager

I would like to take this opportunity to thank UniAthena for accepting my application to study at this prestigious online platform. I hold a bachelor's degree in human resources management and honours in business management. Following several years of professional experience, I realized the need to improve my skills by acquiring more knowledge to become more effective in my role.

The experience acquired during these few months is impressive. We receive full support from tutors who are constantly checking on our assignments and progress in tandem with the student community, which facilitates a seamless transition into the university. In particular, I would like to mention my tutor, Ms. Sanjeeta Thapa, who has been guiding me all the way and encouraging me throughout. I appreciate her.

Another aspect of the platform that I personally find appealing is the ability to consume byte-sized lessons. Furthermore, I also appreciate the fact that the UniAthena's fees are affordable, which allows a majority of students to apply and further their education while working.

Without further delay, I would recommend UniAthena to other interested incumbents for its services and its excellent teaching quality.

Judy Deterville-Jacob

Public Relations Manager

Saint Lucia

My name is Judy Deterville-Jacob. Presently, I live and work on the sunny island of Saint Lucia, and I am the Public Relations Manager at the Sandals Grande St Lucian Spa & Beach Resort, a world-class getaway for couples owned by the renowned Sandals brand.

For many years, I had been contemplating pursuing a doctoral degree. In 2022, I discovered the UniAthena Doctorate of Business Administration (DBA) Programme , and the rest is history. I applied, and I was accepted as a participant in the 2022 cohort.

Being an active student and working full-time comes with many challenges, namely time management. However, having made the commitment, I stuck to the course, and I admit it has been a fruitful journey. There was no going back to what I knew. Previously, I considered myself to be more of a qualitative thinker, expressing myself predominantly through verbal expression.

However, after completing one full year in the DBA programme, I find myself leaning towards the inclusion of a numerical, quantitative form of reasoning and expression. This is what the DBA programme is all about. It changes the way one perceives the world. It is not enough to know something on a surface level. It pushes an individual to ask deeper questions as well as ground their assumptions through analysis and testing. The programme really gives one the tools to build one’s strength as a researcher.

Coming out of this programme, I envisage far more opportunities, on a personal and professional level, to make a greater contribution to business and society through possibilities for conducting research.

Thanks to UniAthena and the DBA Programme, I have gained a new lease on life!

I would like to thank you for the great experience with your platform. Initially, when I found it on Facebook, I was skeptical, thinking it might be another fake thing. However, after enrolling, I was pleased with how smoothly the system worked for accessing my course. One thing I really liked was that when I retook the quizzes, the questions were different, making it fascinating and refreshing.

Korea, Republic of

Extended Diploma in International Business and Strategy (SCQF Level 11)

I really appreciate UniAthena 's online learning platform. UniAthena is a flagbearer in the higher education realm, providing quality education endorsed by UK, Italian, and Spanish universities. The platform provides exceptional flexibility by making it possible to pay in instalments. Furthermore, UniAthena has competent tutors who are willing to assist me with all the answers to questions I couldn't comprehend. Among them was Madam Sayali Joshi, who helped me pass my assignment despite my limited time. She was truly amazing.

Adam Joshua

Junior Survey Engineer

Postgraduate Diploma in Blockchain Technology

My experience with UniAthena pertaining to coursework was excellent. The course was structured well, and complex topics were divided into easy-to-digest lectures that made it easy for learners to retain information. The PG Diploma in Blockchain Technology boasts numerous real-life examples that made me understand the industry relevance of the domain and applications much better. However, I faced challenges such as lack of employment and feeling burnt out, and I also suffered the loss of my relatives, which impacted my learning journey.

Fortunately, the student support team, especially Ms. Sanjeeta, played a crucial role in helping me overcome these difficulties and successfully complete the program. Her support and motivation were invaluable. Additionally, the research project I worked on during my coursework proved to be highly beneficial. It provided me with a deeper understanding of new technologies and improved my ability to write precise reports and conduct analytical research.

I was able to apply the concepts I learned to the projects I worked on, and the research project helped me gain clarity on practical applications. Thanks to the support and guidance I received from Ms. Sanjeeta, I was able to overcome the challenges I encountered. Her proactive approach to hosting meetings to discuss both personal issues and coursework-related queries allowed me to find solutions and stay motivated. She provided valuable advice and feedback on improving my skills in the field.

Whenever I encountered technical issues, she assisted me with technical support and provided me with useful tips to improve my assignments and projects. The overall result that I had with the course was really good. Besides valuable insights regarding the industry and the underlying technology, my awareness of blockchain technology has broadened. I've reached the stage now where, when I see news headlines about big companies implementing blockchain solutions, I'm able to figure out which frameworks they're using and why a particular mechanism has been adopted by the company.

Julius Mutagubya

Consultant Technical Advisor

During my search for an online course that could fit into my job schedule and align with my aspirations, I discovered the Master of Business Administration programme. The programme is offered by UniAthena in alliance with GMU, Italy, with a core management focus. After enrolling in the course in October 2021, I embarked on a two-year journey. With a background as a Medical Laboratory technologist and 17 years of middle management experience, I currently work as a Consultant Technical Advisor at the Elizabeth Glaser Paediatric AIDS Foundation in Uganda.

Upon joining the course, I was fortunate to be assigned Mr. Argha Chakraborty as my learning facilitator. From the very beginning, he instilled in me the belief that the goals I had set were within my reach. As a perfectionist, he urged me to produce high-quality work, paying meticulous attention to detail in order to ensure that I met the university's standards across various modules. Whenever I faced academic challenges, Mr. Chakraborty was readily available to provide guidance and suggest effective approaches and tools to overcome them. His leadership and dedication to education were truly inspiring.

However, my journey hit a roadblock when I contracted COVID-19, and I felt disheartened and discouraged. I stayed away from the course for over a month, unsure if I could continue. Mr Chakraborty was there for me, offering unwavering support and encouragement and urging me to resume my studies whenever I regained my strength.

Throughout the training, Mr Chakraborty has taught me the importance of considering different perspectives when approaching challenges. He emphasized the need to implement cost-effective and feasible solutions in a given environment. The regular check-ins during the modules and his direct, unequivocal feedback made learning not only easier but also enjoyable.

As I'm in the final phase of my MBA course, I am more convinced than ever that even a PhD is within my reach. With facilitators like Mr. Argha Chakraborty, there are no limits to what one can achieve. I wholeheartedly recommend him for any opportunity related to career growth.

I would recommend the institute continue rendering these types of programmes and even upgrade their portfolio with more bachelor's and master’s degrees to help and educate the global community.

Nana Ama Setorwofia

"Studying at UniAthena has instilled a passion and interest in me for sustainability, and I hope to pursue it further. I find the Sustainability and Business module very interesting and insightful. It was an eye-opener and made me think about sustainability in all different directions.

I feel pursuing the MBA in General Management has equipped and prepared me for being a business leader in any reputable organization. I feel the modules are synonymous with different departments in an organisation, and therefore, once an individual graduates with the MBA in General Management, he or she feels equipped to take on senior management positions.

I would recommend this course specifically to professionals with prior work experience seeking to take their career to the next level. My supervisor, Argha Chakraborty, helped me choose a relevant dissertation topic. He was very patient with me in the process, and his review and feedback were very insightful. I am proud to say I secured a distinction for my dissertation under his supervision."

"I am happy to be a product of this esteemed institution. UniAthena places a strong emphasis on the holistic development of the student in addition to offering a platform for academic enrichment.

It provides a lot of opportunities for students to showcase their talents and also acts as a bridge for students to pursue their dream programmes from different accredited universities. I am very happy, and the programme I pursued has really broadened my mindset.

Therefore, I will use this privilege to thank my personal tutor, Argha Chakraborty, for his support."  

Kha Ngo Tan

Deputy Director of Transaction Office

Executive MBA

"My Executive MBA journey started two years ago. At that time, I was still confused about the learning path but also excited about what I would learn throughout the course. One of my difficulties was writing assignments and dissertations in the English language. Although I had learned some short courses in English before, I had never written any long assignments or theses in English. But my tutor, Ms. Krishnaprya, helped me correct my writing skills in the first modules; thus, my writing skills improved. In the last and most important module, the dissertation, I was stuck with ideas and my way of working. Fortunately, my tutor, Ms. Sanjeeta Thapa, helped me so much in expressing my ideas, instructing me to write the dissertation, and interacting frequently to ensure that I would complete the dissertation in the best way possible. Furthermore, before doing the Viva, she and other examiners advised me to put my best foot forward on the Viva day. Due to their support, I was able to deliver a successful presentation. I appreciate Ms. Sanjeeta Thapa for her diligent support. Upon receiving the dissertation grade, which was beyond my expectations, I was so excited that all my efforts were worth it. I want to give special thanks to UniAthena for offering an outstanding study platform that helps students like me earn MBAs online at affordable prices.

Big thanks to Ms. Sanjeeta Thapa! You are not only a meticulous tutor but also an inspirational professor with many ideas.

Batambuze Edward

Environment Health and Safety Officer

I recently took an online course with UniAthena that surpassed my expectations. With an unmatched convenience, it allowed me to log in on my own time and access the course material through a user-friendly dashboard. What's more, UniAthena offered a range of resources, including both video lectures and written notes, catering to different learning styles. I found the ability to rewind video lectures particularly helpful, as it allowed me to better understand complex concepts.

Omagha Rachel

PhD. Parasitology and Bioinformatics

Mastering Change Management Process & Models

With God's grace, I came across UniAthena at a time when I was actively seeking opportunities to upskill and reskill in order to grow my career and professional relationships. Yes, I’m speaking of  God’s grace, because UniAthena’s programmes allow students to register and learn at no cost until the time of claiming their certificates. This was simply the best fit for my financial standing at the time. I am indeed grateful for this inclusion in the programme framework.

Upon discovering this amazing opportunity, I decided to take 44 courses in some of the critical areas relevant to me. A wide range of factors incorporated into the complete programme plan encouraged me to remain committed to my studies. UniAthena's staff members are very supportive, readily available, and always on time when you need them. UniAthena’s learning platform is highly user-friendly; anyone can navigate and get started! Uniathena offers a variety of courses in different subjects, ranging from basic to advanced. Hence, there is “just the right course” for everyone to benefit from. I will recommend discussions with UniAthena's support team to assist with selecting the right course(s) based on students' future objectives. The lecturers have structured the coursework to facilitate self-study; the videos are concise, logical, and easy to follow. The downloadable offline reading materials are well prepared, with references included for further reading. Some of the lecturers were quite creative in their efforts to illustrate the practical aspects of their lessons. I will recommend a lot more to be done to include more and more of such well-demonstrated practical sections since hands-on experiences are what a lot of learners crave.

Subsequently, the quizzes are graded on screen, and answers are immediately provided for the questions you missed, and the corrections are immediately apparent to you. I have learned a lot! Taking into account my previous knowledge, the lessons I acquired, and the new insights I gained, my abilities in all aspects of my professional life have grown considerably.

I am happy to be an alumnus of UniAthena. I enthusiastically recommend UniAthena to anyone looking to upskill or reskill in their chosen fields. I will be glad to assist prospective students in getting the most out of UniAthena's courses. Please do not hesitate to contact me via email at [email protected].

Postgraduate Certificate in Procurement & Contracts Management

UniAthena offers an incredible learning portal, perfect for working professionals like me, and I appreciate top-notch tutors like Ms Sayali Joshi, who was available for me when I asked for help. She has extensively helped me navigate through the course, and this has motivated me to finish and submit my assignment for the Postgraduate Certificate in Procurement and Contract Management . I really enjoyed being your student and look forward to staying with you in the future, all the way to earning a doctorate.

Rebin Hamadamin

Senior Livelihoods Programme

At first, I was confused about starting this online learning journey for many reasons. I was initially reluctant about taking an online course instead of an on-site one, concerning work, life, and education balance, besides being married and raising my 5-year-old child. Moreover, working in the humanitarian sector in a crisis context was another challenge. Indeed, after reading about UniAthena and its free portal access for the trial period, I decided to take the journey without any concern, allowing me to refer the programme to other colleagues. Through the supervision and guidance of my supervisors and tutors from the beginning, I managed to be on the right track, especially thanks to my dissertation supervisor, Sanjeeta Thapa, who helped and guided me on how to achieve the thesis tasks. With her valuable remarks and recommendations, my project became more appealing to the technical committee during the presentation.

I was happy with the results; however, I was expecting more scores in the dissertation and presentation. However, it won't change anything but would rather help me improve more. My plan is to continue learning and embark on another adventure within UniAthena by taking the Doctorate of Business Administration programme in the future.

Pius Ahiagbe

Head of Internal Audit, Ghana Libyan Arab Holding Company

I had limited time left to complete the research project before the deadline, but my supervisor provided the support I needed. With her diligent guidance, we were able to wrap up the project in good time. My supervisor was firm in ensuring that whenever I made mistakes, I corrected them before we moved to the next stage of the research project. This made me pay close attention to every stage of the research project and confine mistakes to the minimum possible. The results were good, and I believe I worked hard to achieve them. I anticipated that since the course was online, it would be easy to crack, but to my surprise, I realized that it was quite rigorous as compared to a classroom-based programme.

Serafina Meigos

Senior Operations and Compliance Officer, International Development Enterprises

Acquiring knowledge is part and parcel of social life, the scholarly path, and professional development. However, even though the professional career is well pursued, the academic journey continues to be part of our lives, though in a different capacity.

In order to make my professional career path consistent and solid, I embarked on a learning trip with UniAthena in order to earn a Master's degree and "pump up" my knowledge in business management. It was the best choice! UniAthena took me to the highest level of professional standard and broke down the barriers I had in business management. Today, I can already visualize myself from the perspective of the buyer, and I know exactly what I need to do to mitigate risks and sell correctly! Well done, UniAthena!  

Damian Figueira

Operations Manager, McFarlane Telfer Trading and Services LLC

Anthony J. D'Angelo said, Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow. This journey I undertook to complete my MBA in general management through UniAthena has been nothing short of rewarding. Starting with the induction process, introducing myself to the course was well-organized and informative. Modules from beginning to completion were detailed, precise, and easily comprehensible, which made the learning experience enjoyable as there were no challenges in understanding and completing the tasks. 

Thank you to the entire team for the efforts you have put into making this MBA journey successful. And especially thank you to Ankita Jawalkar for her guidance and feedback on all my assignments from start to finish. This has really helped me to push my boundaries and become more proficient in my work. This course has been a big driving force in my career, and I’m sure it will help me achieve more of my goals in the future. I'm excited to take on another learning opportunity in the coming year.

Joseph Verengera

Logistics Manager, Solidarites International

In December 2022, I enrolled in the Online Master in Supply Chain and Logistics Management . I have been able to carry out my studies without any hustles, as the fees can be paid per module and not necessarily as a lump sum. This flexibility allows even those who cannot afford to pay large sums of money to pursue their educational ambitions.

Apart from the fee flexibility, the programme is offered online with supportive learning materials and video lectures, and I can testify that they are really detailed and comprehensive. Besides learning materials, viz., journals, I found books in the e-library accessible on the learning platform. This makes it much easier for students, as they can schedule their learning to suit their different convenient times. This is the most distinctive part of UniAthena and makes it one of the best learning institutions offering online studies.

The institution also offers webinars on different specialized topics facilitated by various internationally qualified academic experts. During these webinars, learners get the opportunity to ask burning questions related to their different fields of study. As a result of such exposure and experience, learners can interact with different technocrats of diverse backgrounds who have extensive knowledge on a variety of subject matters.

Apart from the above supportive mechanisms, the institution assigns personal tutors to each individual learner to help them in their learning journey. I will not hesitate to mention my personal tutor assigned to me, Mr Argha Chakraborty. He has been supportive throughout my studies so far. I have been asking him several questions related to my studies through email, Skype, and WhatsApp, sometimes at odd hours, and I have always received much-needed feedback right on time. I am currently studying my fourth module since December 2022, and I am anticipating completing my studies by December 2023. This milestone could not have been possible without Mr Argha Chakraborty. I want to thank him so much for the support I am getting from him. He is my pillar of strength every time I find the going tough.

Patterson Abraham

I am thrilled to share my thoughts about the Master in Public Administration programme with UniAthena. This programme has truly exceeded my expectations and provided me with an exceptional learning experience.

First and foremost, the flexibility being offered by UniAthena is unparalleled. As someone with a busy schedule, I needed a programme that could accommodate my professional and personal commitments. UniAthena's online platform allowed me to access course materials and lectures at any time, from anywhere. This flexibility empowered me to manage my studies effectively and strike a balance between my work and education.

I am provided with timely feedback, guidance, and valuable insights, and she is readily available to address any questions or concerns I have. This has enriched my learning journey and helped me gain a deeper understanding of public administration concepts.

In addition to the excellent educational experience, the programmes offered by UniAthena are also cost-effective. Pursuing a master's degree can be financially challenging, but UniAthena's reasonable tuition fees made it more accessible for me. I am grateful for the opportunity to receive a high-quality education without incurring a significant financial burden.

I'm elated for the opportunity granted to me by UniAthena , which has allowed me to pursue my Masters in International Business Law (LLM) . In today's challenging economic environment, businesses need strong leaders with adaptability and an aptitude for learning. My exposure to such a rigorous curriculum has helped me cope with many challenges and keep up with the emerging trends in my job. The integrated format of the Master’s Programme (LLM) has provided me with a perfect balance despite the heavy workload that comes with a career in Financial Services. The balance between in-person work duties and online classes allowed me to engage in the course material without compromising my performance at work. Through her personal interaction, quick responses, accessibility, and clear instructions, she competently guided me throughout the academic programme. I enthusiastically endorse this programme to any working professional looking to take that next step in their career. This course enabled me to actively apply what I learned and is helping to prepare me for the useful application of this knowledge in my ongoing professional journey.

Pursuing this programme has undoubtedly been one of the best decisions I have made for further studies and acquiring new knowledge. The Postgraduate Diploma in Business Analytics offered a comprehensive and well-structured curriculum, covering a wide range of topics from statistical analysis to machine learning and data visualization. The coursework was challenging yet engaging, constantly pushing me to think and solve complex problems.

I was impressed by the exceptional faculty and her extensive expertise in the fields of business and data analytics. She was not just knowledgeable but also passionate about imparting her knowledge to students. Her guidance and mentorship throughout the programme were invaluable, providing me with the necessary skills to excel in the rapidly evolving world of data science.

Isaltina Victor

Senior Logistics Associate, UN World Food Programme

What I most like about UniAthena is the flexibility and effectiveness of the programmes. In a month, there are two weeks where work is extremely hectic, followed by two weeks where I have more control over my schedule. When there are fewer working hours, I utilize the extra time to study and work on my assignments. Fortunately, UniAthena's curriculum is extremely flexible; it easily adapts to my working schedule.

Subsequently, I currently provide Logistics Support to UN WFP as the Senior Logistics Associate. I frequently use the knowledge acquired from my learning to improve processes. In fact, this year, in addition to my responsibilities, I was asked to work on Enhancement Projects. The Master in Supply Chain and Logistics Management programme provided me with relevant knowledge applicable to the work environment.

Overall, the programme exceeded my expectations and equipped me with valuable information and skills. My tutors supported me throughout the learning experience and were quick to respond, accessible, and always eager to help with any questions or problems. Furthermore, my supervisor, Ankita Jawalkar, guided and supported me with expert knowledge and wisdom through each step of my research and dissertation writing.

It was important for me to pursue the MBA with an institution I can trust and UniAthena offered that in terms of affordability, depth and breadth of the course content, and flexibility to balance both work and studies as well as family commitments. I must admit, I had a great time pursuing the programme. The programme content and assessment were challenging and closely aligned with the career path I desired. Moreover, the academic partnerships UniAthena has with reputable universities made the choice much easier when I enrolled. Thanks UniAthena !

Vinay Kumar

Senior Director (Senior Data Architect)

It was my long-time desire to upgrade my academic qualifications to a Master's degree. The desire grew stronger during 2021 after the Covid-19 outbreak, as I was working from home most of the time and I thought of utilising the saved commuting time in pursuing an MBA program. I started enquiring about reputable universities globally and found UCAM to be a perfect fit owing to its flexible and affordable Executive MBA programme. I received excellent tutor and mentor support from UniAthena, being an accredited education provider for UCAM's online MBA. They made sure I remained focused and supported my journey to complete my EMBA in the expected one-year timeframe. 

Using UniAthena's online portal, you can find a wealth of information and resources that will assist you in completing the module assignments. All tutors and mentors were very responsive to my queries during the course. My final project mentor helped me structure the project delivery into smaller, well-defined goals. The entire project became relatively easy to deliver in a very short span of time. UniAthena’s technical and other management support was also excellent and I experienced no difficulties during the course. Mock Viva and review setup are of high standards and helped me provide the best possible output. I was able to receive a distinction in the final project.

Overall, it was a very satisfactory and pleasant experience for me.  I'm glad to have received my final Master's Degree certificate from UCAM. Thanks to UniAthena, all my tutors and mentors for helping me succeed in this endeavor.

I highly recommend UniAthena to anyone looking to study online.

Coenrad Adolph Groenewald

The Doctor of Business Administration programme at UniAthena has been quite helpful to me and has made a significant contribution to my overall academic development. The initiative has been fruitful while also posing challenges. Your intellectual horizons will be widened as a result of the need to investigate and evaluate your own axiology in relation to various problems and concepts. Not only does it improve your ability to do research, but it also broadens your perspective on how you perceive the world.

Ulika Kupatia

Sr. Quantification and Supply Planning Advisor

I had a wonderful experience and really loved the program learning methods offered by UniAthena . I was able to work while studying, and I could take extra time when I needed to. The tutors were fantastic and very helpful and inspiring. I feel like I got an excellent education. I appreciate all that it has brought to my life.

Learning with UniAthena has been an incredible experience, and believe me; it has made a real difference in my life. I have so much to share. My recommendation: One of the reasons why UniAthena has been leading among the institutions in e-learning is the way online programs have been rolled out to learners— easy-to-understand, significant video lessons, and readily accessible.

Levison Mtike

General Manager 

I truly appreciate UniAthena for the fantastic work they are doing with their online education platform. It allows everyone to choose a course and complete it at their own pace. The learning resources like recorded lessons and reference journals are also very helpful. UniAthena's Diploma certification has greatly improved my working skills and qualifications. Well done, UniAthena! Thank you for such an affordable learning platform.

Emmanuel Wadzanguri

Regional Lubricant Sales Engineer

My name is Emmanuel Wadzanguri, and I am currently pursuing a master degree in Supply Chain and Logistics Management from Athena Global Education.

I began this programme in June 2022, and I must say that it’s been an amazing learning experience. The video lectures, essential readings, and reference materials have been explicit and explain each course’s content sufficiently. This makes learning so interesting.

With a personal tutor to guide and review my assignments before the final grading, I am sure I will excel at the end of this program.

I am really enjoying my learning at UniAthena and am glad I enrolled.

Vusimusi Kubeka

Regional QHSE Compliance and Risk Officer

I have completed six executive diplomas from UniAthena, which offered me unique insights in a number of fields. The pre-recorded videos were fully helpful in explaining the concepts. After earning my Executive Diploma in Accounting, I was also accepted to the postgraduate diploma in accounting (PDGA/CTA), which I couldn't qualify for before. I will definitely be coming back for more.

Aayushi Tewari Sharma

Senior Executive

Due to my full-time employment, I required a curriculum that was completely asynchronous and flexible, which is how I found UniAthena . I was a little nervous because this was my first experience with online instruction. I'm delighted to say that my decision couldn't have been better! The course was so extensive, and the mentors were competent, accessible, and highly adept at maximizing the program's online component. I can honestly state that Athena completely altered my professional path.

Victor Aniche

Chairman/ CEO

When I decided to do a DBA programme, I started a search. I had to take my peculiar schedule into consideration when selecting a programme that both met my schedule needs and provided the kind of academic rigour that will enable me to meet my learning goals.

The UniAthena DBA met my personal and academic needs. I have been pleasantly surprised with the well-thought-out progression of the modules and the academic rigour involved. It’s been a pleasant journey of discovery. What I enjoy most is the support from the academic and support staff, the attention to details, and the learning progression through the modules. It’s been a journey of discovery for me.

I have already started recommending UniAthena to colleagues because the learning here complements the busy schedules of executives who want to take that extra step in their business progression.

Edward Kwesi Gharbin

Safety Supervisor

Mastering Health And Safety Management course have enlightened me in the following areas:

1. Historical Overview & Laws

Lukman Abdulraheem

Supply Chain & Logistics Specialist

The course was user-friendly, the platform was easy to navigate, and the lectures were delivered systematically in simple language. I really liked the transcript & the blockchain-verified certificate also.

The little investment of time and money (affordable) really paid off, as it helped me in my job search. I recommend UniAthena to all the professionals and fresh graduates who seek to advance in their careers flexibly and affordably.

Sonia McCurdy

Operations Risk Manager

My name is Sonia McCurdy and I am pursuing my IDBA with UniAthena. I must say that the narration of the modules are well done and the additional resources provided are well thought out, bringing further clarity to the subjects offered.

The support from my personal tutor Krishna Priya T Nair is commendable. Krishna is always available and provides guidance on the point. As a result, I am progressing smoothly in my studies. Thank you, UniAthena.

Rafael Muail

Operation Manager 

I confess that initially, I thought it would be a difficult journey. I'm from Mozambique, with Portuguese as the primary language and I wasn't 100% fluent in English either. But, the day I watched the first lesson & learned how the tutor teaches, I realized that UniAthena is the best match for me. The course language was easy to understand and today I'm happy that I've finished my course. Truly, study is life!

Godfred Osei Mensah

Snr Management Consultant

UniAthena became more of an emotion than an institution for me. Combining online learning with a busy work schedule was not an easy task; however, the institution kept up the spirit in both offline and online engagements. The faculty kept a close watch on my studies from the beginning to the end. UniAthena is the definition of student support; the school was very prompt in giving responses or directing students to the right places for the right support. It doesn't matter what time of the day it is; you will receive swift feedback either via email or WhatsApp. The time difference between Ghana and Dubai was never a hindrance for getting feedback or support. Special thanks go to Bob, Geethu, and Krishna, who provided amazing support for me as an EMBA student. Keep up the excellent work. UniAthena is a good online school worth applying to because the team really puts a lot of effort into students.

Richard Tyson

Having done extensive research in the prelude to enrolling in an Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) programme, I was initially skeptical about the accreditation and level of service provided by many of the education institutions I came across. However upon reaching out to UniAthena, all concerns I had were immediately clarified by their staff, and communication has always been prompt and detailed. The greatest feature to me is that accredited programmes are affordable, highly flexible and well-reputed around the world, and the EMBA programme has been very enlightening, providing me with various opportunities for theoretical and practical application in my current endeavours.

Deyna Mclawrence

UX Designer

The learning content was excellent, everything was explained very clearly, and I gained professional knowledge of the domain. I developed a broad understanding of Strategic Project Management & the processes involved. This course has benefitted me with great productivity at my workplace. Thank you, UniAthena!

Markhills Sialondwe

What a pleasure to be an EHTS! One of the best things about UniAthena is that it actually provides me with a special edge in my major field. Certainly, this is the best e-learning platform I've ever come across. I'm so thankful for the knowledge, and had recommended UniAthena to two of my friends. They also have enrolled in the courses and are equally satisfied with the learning outcomes. I would encourage other learners to join their programmes which are truly affordable and flexible.

Thank you, UniAthena! Keep up the good job.

Ositoyibo Ogaga Joseph

Offshore Installation Manager

My name is Ositoyibo Ogaga Joseph, and I am presently pursuing a Master in Engineering Management with UniAthena offered by Guglielmo Marconi University. I work as an Offshore Installation Manager with Depthwize Nigerian limited, specializing in drilling for oil and gas in shallow waters.

UniAthena has an unbeatably flexible mode of payment. The master's programme at UniAthena is so well structured that it has systematically transformed me from a conventional manager into a green manager.

It's a programme that bridges the gap between engineering, social sciences, and business. It is a complete package for those aspiring to be green leaders.

Lebohang Meko

Core Networks Supervisor

On the positive side, the course is organized and structured very well. The content is exactly what I am looking for and was expecting. The lecture videos are very clear so far, with perfect supporting material. The research projects also give good exposure to the outside world. Even the instructor is responsive, able to avail herself and guide me through the research questions whenever needed.

On the other hand, my job is too demanding and sometimes I spend the whole week in rural areas where network coverage is not good. With this, I think, if possible, the course can be made flexible to allow us to pause for some time (with justification, though) and resume learning later on. Again, can it be considered that we have at least a week's break after the completion of a module just to refresh and catch up with work, family, and other projects?

Balan Vijayarahavan Pillai

I am writing this testimonial on my main email so you can publish it so that everyone can know that one can achieve their goals even while having a full-time job.

We are a logistic-based company, and I am the 4th generation in this business. In logistics, there are no weekends or holidays as the port does not stop for you, and yet I was able to accomplish my goal through the guidance of UniAthena .

My entire experience with UniAthena has been extraordinary!

At the age of 55 years, I honestly did not think I could get myself into the curriculum of going "Back To School". The last I was in college was 25+ years ago.

UniAthena made this transition seamless for me, and I must single out Nithin Kurian & Prashant Priyadashi, my counsellors, without whom I could not have made it through the course. Their invaluable time, effort, and guidance are what ultimately got me to achieve my Master qualification.

The video lectures and reference material were most helpful, as was the e-library, which was an intricate part of my fact-finding process. The lecturers in the video comprehensively delivered the lesson in a manner that was very conducive for someone like me at my age to understand and comprehend.

I hereby give my recommendation to all who apply with UniAthena and tell them that if I, at age 55, can achieve a Master Degree, then anyone who applies can do the same. My heartiest thanks to all at UniAthena and my humble gratitude to all at Athena for making my dream come through in achieving my goal.

Fikeu Francky Vivier

Hello, my name is Fikeu Francky Vivier from Cameroon. I am an expert consultant in factory architecture, mainly in the field of food processing. I am a co-founder and general manager of a construction company. Our expertise is in the construction and manufacture of metal structures based in Guinea Conakry.

Initially, the nature of my work did not allow me to follow my passion because of my constant movement. Then I discovered UniAthena on Facebook with an offer more than perfect for my professional situation and schedule, an accredited university that adapts to me; therefore, I seized the opportunity. My current training is in construction management at the Master level; already at the last module, and I don't plan to end there with the support of my personal tutor.

Having French as my first language, I  thought the English language would be a little complex for me to understand, but the courses were explained in plain and simple language. The teachers speak calmly and are well audible. The tutor is more than attentive. Without the support of my tutor, I would have stopped at the first module, but he encouraged me a lot. I can proudly say that UniAthena is my best academic experience. I really hope to meet my teachers to better express my gratitude.

Amir El Araby

Due to the flexibility and the amazing platform provided by UniAthena, paired with the strong support of my advisor Mr.Argha, I have been able to earn my MBA degree. 

The rigorous curriculum and amazing content of the course helped me a lot. I gained a significant amount of knowledge about managing business and blockchain technology practices. 

While studying at Uniathena, I have learned inspiring skills and excellent academic methods that I am confident will allow me to reach new heights in my business. 

I can’t forget to thank Mr. Nithin, who helped me during my dissertation, and indeed, I would like to recommend others seeking strong knowledge and support for their careers to join the MBA-Blockchain management programme.

Muhammad Amirul Md Noor

Radiation Protection Officer

"I'm Amirul. I enrolled in the Diploma in Environment Health and Safety Management course from UniAthena.

The course was simple yet effective in delivering the quality knowledge required to be an OSH professional. It enhanced and supported my career development as an Occupational Health and Safety Trainer.

Besides that, UniAthena also provided excellent administrative support for my queries. Totally recommended to all OSH practitioners out there!"

ABIGAIL RODAVIA

Deputy Manager/ O+O Manager (Amazon)

My overall experience exceeded my expectations. I'm deeply grateful!

This experience has given me the confidence to achieve something that I previously believed was impossible to attain. UniAthena is a multicultural, accessible learning institution where students with various professional and cultural backgrounds are valued.

My MBA journey, experiences, learning, and the support I got from the institution and the whole team, especially Mr. Argha and Mr. Bob, are phenomenal. 

The dissertation and viva process went a little bit smoother and pleasant because of the team's relentless support. Kudos! 

What can I say? I am just fortunate that my learning experience was exceptionally great!

Saajid Ahmad Mustun

PwC Flying starter

Mastering Economic Growth & Regulatory Framework

I completed the " Mastering Economic Growth & Regulatory Framework " course from UniAthena & I find it excellent! The course was well-structured, up-to-date, and really helped me refine my theoretical knowledge of Economic Growth. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who has an interest in learning more about how economic policies and laws are formulated.

Judy Deterville Jacob (Ms)

As a new student at UniAthena, my experience has been very positive. Starting with my initial email enquiring about the DBA programme, to becoming accepted to begin with the 2022 cohort, communication has been timely and accurate. I am in the business of communication, so this is very important to me. 

My geographical location in Saint Lucia, West Indies, 6 hours behind the university time clock, is no impediment to my receiving correct information. In fact, I can confidently state that time is not an issue. 

I benefit from strong relationship building as I receive personal attention from my Academic Associates. I would say "hats off" to online learning with UniAthena. They make it easy, especially for me, an experienced professional, coming in as a first-time, full-time online learner. The process is seamless. I know that I have made the right choice!  And, it is affordable.

The DBA programme is important to my career development. Personal repositioning is a necessary step, and I think I can get the fine-tuning that I need to take me to the next level from the UniAthena DBA programme. A combination of pushing to achieve perfection and never giving up are values that I appreciate from the UniAthena DBA programme.

Mouhamadou Tirera

Deputy manager 

My journey with Athena Global Education was exceptional. I enrolled in the Diploma in Supply Chain Management. The support from the staff was amazing. The course and curriculum were in line with my current career path, and I gained knowledge that will help me advance in my future prospects.

Luca Rovinalti

CEO at Svet Solutions Media

Czech Republic

I found UniAthena an extremely valuable learning experience. After starting the DBA programme, I managed to gain new knowledge on business theories and research practices that reinforced the theories and practical approach I learned during my MBA. I am looking forward to having the occasion to put my research knowledge into practice while working on more advanced research topics, a fact that will probably happen in a more advanced phase of the programme itself. 

The team at UniAthena always had a professional and supportive approach, ready to assist and find solutions promptly when needed.

Cesar Henrique Jendreieck

Regional Service Engineering Director – APAC MEA

“I am happy to have taken the MBA in General Management- FastTrack professional course. This has many positive aspects, the course has content that combines theory and practical applications. UniAthena's modular course content and flexible learning schedule allowed me to learn according to my available time. And the support of my advisor, Argha, during my dissertation was outstanding. I would like to leave my recommendation for other people seeking an MBA. This course will help you raise your professional knowledge and polish industry-required business skills”.

I would highly recommend UniAthena/UCAM to anyone interested!

Frackson Makwangwala

Monitoring and Evaluation Officer

I have been looking for a well accredited and recognized university where I would study while working. One day, I ended up finding UniAthena, and the experience has been awesome. The GMU Italy's Master in Data Science programme is accredited by the Ministry of Education, Italy. Additionally, the University is a member of the Bologna Process in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and NARIC-approved.

The programme is delivered in an intriguing and systematic manner, complemented by high-class references in terms of partnerships and study programs. What amazes me the most is the high standard of communication from the course tutor. Despite enjoying constructive input and guidance throughout each lesson of the course, the tutor is vibrant and flexible in clarifying any problems I face. Continuous communication via calls, Zoom meetings, emails, and WhatsApp messages is conducted on time.

I cannot believe that I am already applying whatever I am learning in my field of work. The results are very impressive and fascinating. The moment you are in, a life-changing moment is right around the corner.

Thank you UniAthena!

Sadeque Imam Sheikh

Lecturer - MBA and B.Sc Computing

I enrolled in this DBA program in December 2020. So far, it has been a wonderful journey. I am really grateful to Uniathena for delivering this Doctorate program. I received  excellent academic and research support from the highly qualified academic faculty of Uniathena. Learning resources deserve a lot of praise. I am extremely grateful to  Universidad Católica de Murcia for awarding me this qualification.Overall excellent learning and research experience".

Yong Kwang Ng

Telesales Manager

I was initially sceptical of long-distance learning, and I wondered how I would be able to learn and communicate with the lecturer and mentor due to the time difference. The follow-up from the Course Administrator after I registered my interest in the MBA was quick, and they were able to answer all of my questions and concerns, giving me the confidence to pursue the MBA  programme with them. Throughout the course, the assigned mentors and Bob, the customer experience manager, were helpful, and whenever I contacted them, they responded quickly, even though we were all in different time zones. They have helped me along the way.

I want to thank the lecturers, assigned mentors, and Bob for their patience and help during this time.

Daniel Gies

Banking and Finance Consultant

I enrolled in the DBA program at UniAthena with a fear that my consulting work in the financial sector and my busy travel schedule would make it difficult to complete the coursework and distract my focus on study. It has indeed been challenging, but what has made all the difference is the great relationship and collaboration with the UniAthena team. 

The flexibility in the approach to learning by the faculty and staff of the program, as well as their understanding of student life, has made it possible for me to achieve what I thought would be impossible for me. With their support and those of my cohort colleagues, I have been able to keep the intense pace of learning. I even agreed with my employer on a research topic that suited their needs and interests, which has given me a flexible approach to my upcoming doctoral thesis. As my research progresses, I have a great opportunity to make a significant contribution to my employer’s bottom line, which is important to them and to me. 

Many thanks to the UniAthena team for the wonderful support.  The program is highly recommended!

The study itself is a yardstick for the human environment. I am grateful to UniAthena.”

Chrispin Chaliyumba

Diploma in Operations Management

I was working with Mima Sanitations as Operations Manager. Studying your course in operations management has really helped me to plan and acquire proper management skills. I have an insight into what I was missing out on during my work schedule. I have also gained knowledge through Uniathena in mastering safety and management skills. In addition, I have gained knowledge of marketing strategies through Uniathena. 

My background was in accounts but the combination has given me a different view of marketing and operations management. I have two Diplomas in Operations Management, an International Diploma in Marketing, and Diploma in Fundamentals in Project Management through UniAthena.

“The courses at UniAthena help to build working professionals with their advanced learning materials so that they push forward in their organisations. I feel that these various courses help those who are already engaged in diverse occupations, to become more valuable in the society where they belong. 

UniAthena also helps individuals to become more professional as the courses are professional to the core."

Being based from a distance meant that I have been able to study what I have loved doing for a long time without having to worry about the current pandemic and so many travel restrictions and other things. It has been a very interesting and valuable experience thus far, where I am learning a lot which has given me a good business grounding.  It really makes me think, and I like how it has enabled me to interact with people through the virtual world.

I found the program interesting, challenging, and rewarding, the assignments were corrected quickly, with lots of positive feedback from the tutors. It has been a truly invaluable learning experience for me. I want you to know that I have learned so much from all of your constructive inputs and guidance throughout each lesson of the course. You have helped me to understand where my strengths and weaknesses lie, and what areas of my answers  I need to pay attention to.

Thank you for getting my assignments back to me as promptly as you have, and thank you for making this course so enjoyable.

Finally, I gained a lot of knowledge about practical strategies that will benefit me. The course exceeded my expectations significantly.

Thanks to Athena Global Education for such a Wonderful Study Experience.

UniAthena is the best place for people from different countries around the world. Through UniAthena, I have completed four diplomas online. Thanks to the entire UniAthena team. May you continue to grow to be the best learning centre in the world.

A truly challenging yet amazing experience of my life journey. Thank you very much, Athena Global Education, for assisting me all the way to overcome challenges and achieve my Master’s degree from UCAM.

The flexibility of the course and the support from the team is second to none. I wish Athena Global Education all the best and help more executives with tight working schedules like me to achieve the dream of higher education.

Daniel Rowlands

Unity Developer

I had an absolutely amazing first-class experience at UniAthena for my Postgraduate Certificate in Machine Learning. I found the study material, the video lectures and further reading interesting and engaging. The academic staff was also friendly and supportive and they were always quick to answer my questions by email which I liked. Their IT team was good at getting back to me when I had this issue logging into the website where I had to reset the password endlessly, but they fixed it within a short span of time. That was nice. The assignments had a very practical and business-minded focus to them, for instance, one of the questions asked was how you would apply AI to improve a company's operational efficiency. This is great because it really helps to engage your thinking about how your studies are connected to your future career or job role. 

The only downside point was some of the quiz questions. They could perhaps do with a little revamping. However, the quiz questions were focused on continually improving and testing your understanding so if you complete them, you get a very good grasp of the course. You can work at your own pace which means that there is no pressure and you can learn a lot in a short space of time which fits into your hectic schedule. I enjoyed the course that I chose which made it easier to study. All in all, I had a very positive postgraduate education experience. I highly recommend UniAthena and I fully endorse them to further your educational needs and improve your resume by enhancing your skills and experience.

Frederick Kwanti

Senior Sales Officer

I always wanted to pursue an online Master in Business Administration and I have been extremely fortunate to have found UniAthena. The program “Master of International Business Administration” is professionally designed and is relevant to the global workplace. It meets professional standards and has increased the efficiency of my work.

I have a very dedicated student support officer who is always here for me, from academic skills to my wellbeing. Athena has a diverse community and your time here will broaden your horizon. UniAthena is here to accommodate adult students by meeting their individual needs and helping them achieve their desired goals.

For this reason, UniAthena’s Master of International Business Administration program is very flexible and is perfect for professionals who can study part-time at their own pace. UniAthena is very affordable and the pay-per-module system is very convenient.

I would strongly recommend UniAthena’s Master of International Business Administration program to all busy CEOs in keeping their businesses going and simultaneously pursuing academics.

UniAthena is the best place of study you can have.

Charles Daniel Apollo

Dear UniAthena, keep on doing what you are doing!!! To say UniAthena is the best online distance learning platform is an understatement, it is not only the best but the right place to learn for any busy and professional modern scholar like myself. It is user-friendly, organized, affordable, flexible, and, above all, competitive. It is the best and most qualified, modern scholarly online distance learning institution that I have come to respect, love, and appreciate. Learning at UniAthena is exciting, challenging, and above all, promising. I am in love with the UniAthena learning platform.

I had been searching for the right institution to do my Master program online and from nowhere, I landed on UniAthena's advert on FB. I am grateful to Facebook for introducing me to UniAthena. Without hesitation, I would recommend UniAthena to anyone who wishes to make a difference in society. Are you looking for quality graduate and postgraduate education?

Philippa Davidsen

During the Covid-19 pandemic, when I was looking for a new job, I realized that many highly qualified persons were applying for middle management jobs. I then realized that at 30, I needed to get a diploma to be able to compete. I came across UniAthena and was convinced that it was the place for me as soon as I saw their Diplomas were accredited by real universities. It is one of their strengths. Accreditation gives your profile a certain legitimacy. The main strength of UniAthena in my opinion is their dedication to your success and their constant support. I am proud to be part of this amazing family and will soon graduate at the age of 31. It is never too late to achieve your dreams, backed up by the team. In fact, it is even closer.

Johannes Rantoba

Senior Lecturer Department of Business Studies

I enrolled for the Doctorate of Business Administration (DBA)) program in 2021. My experience as a DBA student has been challenging, exciting, requiring dedication, sacrifice and commitment. I am blessed to have chosen to do my doctoral degree through Athena Global Education. The support I get from Athena is unparalleled. The materials they provide are accessible, user-friendly and informative. The fees are affordable and flexible. They are prompt when it comes to addressing students’ issues. 

I would like to recommend anyone who wants to pursue doctoral studies to consider Athena Global Education as their academic partner. Athena Global Education is the best among the rest, a cut above the rest.

Thank you and God bless all.

Aden Harun Abdi

Chief officer- Finance

My Name is Aden Harun Abdi and I am from Kenya. I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration  degree with a specialty in Entrepreneurship from Kenya Methodist University. I graduated in the year 2013. I also have a Postgraduate Certificate in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) from Inoorero University in partnership with ILO and Danish Embassy Nairobi. I have 15 years of work experience in Entrepreneurship, Finance and humanitarian interventions.  

I am enjoying the online teaching platform provided by Athena Global Education and the tasks assigned to me by my tutor. The online video clips are very simple to understand, precise and explicit in nature. One thing I have really admired is the availability of my Tutor, Mr Nithin who selflessly gave me a lot of technical support. Additionally, Sophie, Bob and Claire (-Personal Student Experience and Engagement Officers) have religiously supported me in various administrative issues, linkage to the online platform and general guidance.  

The sudden shift to digital teaching is the way to go in modern society where technology has advanced and the need for education has increased significantly. I have quickly adapted to the new situation and requirements of assigned tasks. The assignments have helped me hone many skills including entrepreneurial ones to develop leadership abilities with improved communication, research and problem-solving skills.  A majority of people are experiencing tough times under the Covid-19 pandemic with businesses closing down and many employees losing their source of income. The skills gained from this course will help me in my career to strategize on better business opportunities, advise various agencies and authorities such as humanitarian organizations, county and national governments on how to utilize the resources at their disposal for better livelihood of the citizens.

There are concerns in the marketplace about risks, returns, and uncertainties; it is my hope that by the end of the course, I can recognize the opportunities and strengths that I possess in order to combat various challenges to innovations as well as help shape current and future operations and develop strategic goals. I expect that by the end of the program I would be able to develop logical thinking skills that will enable me to identify and evaluate entrepreneurial opportunities and develop an understanding of the techniques that every innovative organization and entrepreneur requires to succeed. These will be brought to effect on learning the tools and concepts that assist in successfully testing and launching innovative products in the marketplace.  

Miriam Siyamanyanga

When I was researching MBA programs, convenience ,accredited faculty, competitive tuition and flexibility were of importance. Athena Global Education met all of these needs. It allowed me the flexibility to learn on my own time while living and working full-time on another continent. Having been out of school for several years, I was feeling rusty and nervous. I didn’t even know where to start from or how to exercise self discipline and make online learning a success. However, the greatest support system at Athena lessened this burden. The staff could guide me on where to focus my efforts and give me a step-by-step program to follow. I especially appreciated the test-taking strategy portions at the end of each course. I had an experience of a lifetime!

Romeo Regalli

Freelance Management Consultant

I have always aspired to enhance my knowledge base, be it in my profession, or in social, psychological, economic, spiritual or environmental issues. I believe in lifelong learning. That is why I decided to join Uniathena’s Master of International Business Administration program, even though I am a retired person. I don’t believe that age hinders learning and acquiring novel knowledge, competencies and skills. The program was in sync with my expectations. I can learn at my own time and pace. The way the lessons and assignments are designed contribute to critical thinking which make one ready for future learning and analysis of any situation. In some universities, the focus is on learning by rote. I had joined such universities for their Master’s program in the past but I withdrew, disappointed. As I am a freelance Management Consultant, the knowledge and skill I acquired in Athena will help me be to be more knowledgeable and effective in my consultancy endeavors.

Alberto Njikho

Senior Strategic Sourcing Assistant

I am a professional with 10 years of experience and I decided to add more academic credentials to my career. I was browsing through the websites and I finally came upon Athena Global Education which met my expectations. In 2021, I completed my Diploma in Procurement and Contracts Management. It has been an exciting journey where I had the opportunity to learn from one of the best leaders in the education world. I loved the overall experience and I cannot wait to enroll myself in the Integrated DBA program. I recommend Athena Global education to everyone who is pursuing quality education.

M Bandhula H Perera

Country Head of Corporate Services

Going for a DBA marks the pinnacle of one’s academic career. The journey is never an easy task and needs extensive dedication, commitment, and a solid academic partner to join hands until you cross that line. UniAthena is just the best academic partner that I have found, with a significant focus on effective communication with its academic partners. The approach of UniAthena enables me to stay focused, ambitious, and energetic. Hence, I have no doubt it would allow me to achieve my academic aspirations effectively in the years to come.

"UniAthena” is indeed an Academic Partner of your Success!

Andy Haasbroek

In 2018, I lost everything. I had to start from scratch. I had more than 15 years of experience in business management, but no qualification. After extensive research and a very limited budget, I decided to enroll at UniAthena. UniAthena has been an incredible learning platform and the support from administrative staff all the way to the academic staff has been amazing. I can (and have) recommend(ed) UniAthena to anybody who wants to further their education.

Robert L. Ferrari

Former International Business Manager

Settling in comfortably has never been part of my growth plan. Holding high standards, and raising the bar at every opportunity have been ongoing commitments in the flowering of my very best self. The IMBA program with UniAthena is providing enough challenges necessary to reach that very next level leading to a better me. UniAthena helps me to stay ambitious while looking forward to joining tomorrow's leaders and making our world a vastly improved place.

Due to my demanding job, UniAthena has offered me a great opportunity that is allowing me to study on my terms.

Lucky Ali Oguche

UniAthena is transforming people's lives through education and research that impacts the broader community. UniAthena has enhanced my knowledge as a student and helped me develop the skills and knowledge my employers need. The lectures alone close the gap between experience and the real-life challenges faced daily at my workplace. Research that benefits everyone—creating businesses and jobs, enriching society, and stimulating culture—is what most organizations look for. I became familiar with the expectations of global organizations. Furthermore, the flexibility of studying at your own pace per module gives me time to plan and coordinate my finances.

Coillard Hamusimbi

Partner and Senior Consultant

It all seemed impossible until I enrolled with UniAthena. I struggled to find a university program to suit my skills requirements, busy working schedules and limited paying ability. 2019 went by searching without much success for a distinct executive MBA program to equip me with technical and entrepreneurial skills and agility I desperately needed to better manage an upcoming consulting firm my colleagues and I are developing. My search ended when I came across UniAthena. I have since enrolled and now pursuing an Executive MBA program with UniAthena. Program content diversity is what every budding industry leader requires, and UniAthena’s flexible online teaching mode is a perfect fit for a busy bee like me and in times of contagions like Covid-19. I must admit I initially struggled to adjust, but thanks to UniAthena’s very helpful teaching and admin staff, all initial struggles subsided and within a while, I was ready for take-off. I have taken off and 'can't wait to wrap up my Executive MBA at UniAthena.

Fernando Fumuassuca

I found the learning delivery to be flexible and also the payment plan, where you have no long term commitments required to achieve your desired goals. Due to this, I am making my way towards successfully completing my MBA. Thanks to the entire Athena team for the support.

Adolphus Khawula

Store Manager

After enrolling at Athena,at first, I was very sceptical about my learning on an online platform but my concerns disappeared after going through their easy to follow modules and my fear of online learning was well taken care of through continuous support. As of now, I am very confident in recommending Athena to any busy professional wanting to pursue online Executive Education or MBA.

With my daily routine being packed with a day job at one of the most reputed banks in the UAE, and my passion to pursue a Coaching license in Football, I was unsure whether I would be able to manage the MBA program. But thanks to the faculty members of Athena, the journey until now has been convenient and systematic.

Sammy King Baiden

Athena has been the most accessible platform due to moderate fees, discounts, and “Pay as you go” feature (you don’t have to pay all at once). After more than 15 years out of the classroom, their assessment through research tasks made things smoother for me. For me, this is the best way to help busy CEOs keep their businesses going and still pursue academics. I have not come across a better option than Athena yet. So far, what I have experienced in Athena is impressive especially regarding the people to assist me with my academic challenges. I have been experiencing health anxiety and this covid-19 era made it really worse. It was impossible for me to even concentrate on my studies. I almost wanted to quit and focus on my anxiety but seeing their patience and willingness to guide me through my assignments gave me so much relief that I was able to go through my therapy counseling and learn at the same time. This is the first time in my life that I have experienced such level of patience from a higher education institute. So all I can say now is thank you everyone for your desire to make sure I pass my assignments with flying colors. I am certainly overwhelmed.

The module information on the program is so relevant and to the point that the learner grasps key theories and concepts easily. They are well articulated and presented by different module tutors who have hands-on exposure and academic experience in the field of their teaching. The module assignments are very relevant to today's business world and they make you think critically, analyze situations, and come up with modern solutions.

Ranjith Kumar Selvamani

Procurement Officer

The First thing that comes to my mind is the affordability and the flexibility of the course and the delivery method using the latest technology. The course curriculum covers key concepts on the subject. Athena demands research methodology for assignments which lets you learn more from the peer-reviewed articles and research journals, which is a bonus. Overall, good experience so far with all my completed modules. I would recommend you to try a module yourself to get a feel for it.

Emmanuel Amara Vandi Fomba

National Coordinator

Athena Global Education, you are incredible. I never believed I was missing a lot in my educational career until I joined Athena, one of the highest quality global educational institution the world has ever produced. An institution where you have a flexibility in your online studies, affordable fees and payment methods, friendly and supportive mentors and above all, with Athena you are assured of completing your course with quality certificates ...

So far, what I have experienced in UniAthena is impressive especially regarding the people to assist me with my academic challenges.

My journey with Athena has been Awesome. The Course Leader has been of so much help in advising and encouraging me with the modules. I have not had any problem accessing my module on the website anytime any day, it's so very convenient. Help is always available. Keep up the good work, Athena. I strongly recommend Athena to prospective students.

Pieter Kruger

Group Chief Operating Officer

I am enjoying to experience with Athena to further my studies. The online learning approach allows me to work at my own pace and the online group engagement sessions are very productive and insightful. Overall very happy to be part of the Athena family.

50 Mini-Lessons For Teaching Students Research Skills

Please note, I am no longer blogging and this post hasn’t updated since April 2020.

For a number of years, Seth Godin has been talking about the need to “ connect the dots” rather than “collect the dots” . That is, rather than memorising information, students must be able to learn how to solve new problems, see patterns, and combine multiple perspectives.

Solid research skills underpin this. Having the fluency to find and use information successfully is an essential skill for life and work.

Today’s students have more information at their fingertips than ever before and this means the role of the teacher as a guide is more important than ever.

You might be wondering how you can fit teaching research skills into a busy curriculum? There aren’t enough hours in the day! The good news is, there are so many mini-lessons you can do to build students’ skills over time.

This post outlines 50 ideas for activities that could be done in just a few minutes (or stretched out to a longer lesson if you have the time!).

Learn More About The Research Process

I have a popular post called Teach Students How To Research Online In 5 Steps. It outlines a five-step approach to break down the research process into manageable chunks.

This post shares ideas for mini-lessons that could be carried out in the classroom throughout the year to help build students’ skills in the five areas of: clarify, search, delve, evaluate , and cite . It also includes ideas for learning about staying organised throughout the research process.

Notes about the 50 research activities:

• These ideas can be adapted for different age groups from middle primary/elementary to senior high school.
• Many of these ideas can be repeated throughout the year.
• Depending on the age of your students, you can decide whether the activity will be more teacher or student led. Some activities suggest coming up with a list of words, questions, or phrases. Teachers of younger students could generate these themselves.
• Depending on how much time you have, many of the activities can be either quickly modelled by the teacher, or extended to an hour-long lesson.
• Some of the activities could fit into more than one category.
• Looking for simple articles for younger students for some of the activities? Try DOGO News or Time for Kids . Newsela is also a great resource but you do need to sign up for free account.
• Why not try a few activities in a staff meeting? Everyone can always brush up on their own research skills!

• Choose a topic (e.g. koalas, basketball, Mount Everest) . Write as many questions as you can think of relating to that topic.
• Make a mindmap of a topic you’re currently learning about. This could be either on paper or using an online tool like Bubbl.us .
• Read a short book or article. Make a list of 5 words from the text that you don’t totally understand. Look up the meaning of the words in a dictionary (online or paper).
• Look at a printed or digital copy of a short article with the title removed. Come up with as many different titles as possible that would fit the article.
• Come up with a list of 5 different questions you could type into Google (e.g. Which country in Asia has the largest population?) Circle the keywords in each question.
• Write down 10 words to describe a person, place, or topic. Come up with synonyms for these words using a tool like  Thesaurus.com .
• Write pairs of synonyms on post-it notes (this could be done by the teacher or students). Each student in the class has one post-it note and walks around the classroom to find the person with the synonym to their word.

• Explore how to search Google using your voice (i.e. click/tap on the microphone in the Google search box or on your phone/tablet keyboard) . List the pros and cons of using voice and text to search.
• Open two different search engines in your browser such as Google and Bing. Type in a query and compare the results. Do all search engines work exactly the same?
• Have students work in pairs to try out a different search engine (there are 11 listed here ). Report back to the class on the pros and cons.
• Think of something you’re curious about, (e.g. What endangered animals live in the Amazon Rainforest?). Open Google in two tabs. In one search, type in one or two keywords ( e.g. Amazon Rainforest) . In the other search type in multiple relevant keywords (e.g. endangered animals Amazon rainforest).  Compare the results. Discuss the importance of being specific.
• Similar to above, try two different searches where one phrase is in quotation marks and the other is not. For example, Origin of “raining cats and dogs” and Origin of raining cats and dogs . Discuss the difference that using quotation marks makes (It tells Google to search for the precise keywords in order.)
• Try writing a question in Google with a few minor spelling mistakes. What happens? What happens if you add or leave out punctuation ?
• Try the AGoogleADay.com daily search challenges from Google. The questions help older students learn about choosing keywords, deconstructing questions, and altering keywords.
• Explore how Google uses autocomplete to suggest searches quickly. Try it out by typing in various queries (e.g. How to draw… or What is the tallest…). Discuss how these suggestions come about, how to use them, and whether they’re usually helpful.
• Watch this video  from Code.org to learn more about how search works .
• Take a look at  20 Instant Google Searches your Students Need to Know  by Eric Curts to learn about “ instant searches ”. Try one to try out. Perhaps each student could be assigned one to try and share with the class.
• Experiment with typing some questions into Google that have a clear answer (e.g. “What is a parallelogram?” or “What is the highest mountain in the world?” or “What is the population of Australia?”). Look at the different ways the answers are displayed instantly within the search results — dictionary definitions, image cards, graphs etc.

• Watch the video How Does Google Know Everything About Me?  by Scientific American. Discuss the PageRank algorithm and how Google uses your data to customise search results.
• Brainstorm a list of popular domains   (e.g. .com, .com.au, or your country’s domain) . Discuss if any domains might be more reliable than others and why (e.g. .gov or .edu) .
• Discuss (or research) ways to open Google search results in a new tab to save your original search results  (i.e. right-click > open link in new tab or press control/command and click the link).
• Try out a few Google searches (perhaps start with things like “car service” “cat food” or “fresh flowers”). A re there advertisements within the results? Discuss where these appear and how to spot them.
• Look at ways to filter search results by using the tabs at the top of the page in Google (i.e. news, images, shopping, maps, videos etc.). Do the same filters appear for all Google searches? Try out a few different searches and see.
• Type a question into Google and look for the “People also ask” and “Searches related to…” sections. Discuss how these could be useful. When should you use them or ignore them so you don’t go off on an irrelevant tangent? Is the information in the drop-down section under “People also ask” always the best?
• Often, more current search results are more useful. Click on “tools” under the Google search box and then “any time” and your time frame of choice such as “Past month” or “Past year”.
• Have students annotate their own “anatomy of a search result” example like the one I made below. Explore the different ways search results display; some have more details like sitelinks and some do not.

• Find two articles on a news topic from different publications. Or find a news article and an opinion piece on the same topic. Make a Venn diagram comparing the similarities and differences.
• Choose a graph, map, or chart from The New York Times’ What’s Going On In This Graph series . Have a whole class or small group discussion about the data.
• Look at images stripped of their captions on What’s Going On In This Picture? by The New York Times. Discuss the images in pairs or small groups. What can you tell?
• Explore a website together as a class or in pairs — perhaps a news website. Identify all the advertisements .
• Have a look at a fake website either as a whole class or in pairs/small groups. See if students can spot that these sites are not real. Discuss the fact that you can’t believe everything that’s online. Get started with these four examples of fake websites from Eric Curts.
• Give students a copy of my website evaluation flowchart to analyse and then discuss as a class. Read more about the flowchart in this post.
• As a class, look at a prompt from Mike Caulfield’s Four Moves . Either together or in small groups, have students fact check the prompts on the site. This resource explains more about the fact checking process. Note: some of these prompts are not suitable for younger students.
• Practice skim reading — give students one minute to read a short article. Ask them to discuss what stood out to them. Headings? Bold words? Quotes? Then give students ten minutes to read the same article and discuss deep reading.

All students can benefit from learning about plagiarism, copyright, how to write information in their own words, and how to acknowledge the source. However, the formality of this process will depend on your students’ age and your curriculum guidelines.

• Watch the video Citation for Beginners for an introduction to citation. Discuss the key points to remember.
• Look up the definition of plagiarism using a variety of sources (dictionary, video, Wikipedia etc.). Create a definition as a class.
• Find an interesting video on YouTube (perhaps a “life hack” video) and write a brief summary in your own words.
• Have students pair up and tell each other about their weekend. Then have the listener try to verbalise or write their friend’s recount in their own words. Discuss how accurate this was.
• Read the class a copy of a well known fairy tale. Have them write a short summary in their own words. Compare the versions that different students come up with.
• Try out MyBib — a handy free online tool without ads that helps you create citations quickly and easily.
• Give primary/elementary students a copy of Kathy Schrock’s Guide to Citation that matches their grade level (the guide covers grades 1 to 6). Choose one form of citation and create some examples as a class (e.g. a website or a book).
• Make a list of things that are okay and not okay to do when researching, e.g. copy text from a website, use any image from Google images, paraphrase in your own words and cite your source, add a short quote and cite the source. 
• Have students read a short article and then come up with a summary that would be considered plagiarism and one that would not be considered plagiarism. These could be shared with the class and the students asked to decide which one shows an example of plagiarism .
• Older students could investigate the difference between paraphrasing and summarising . They could create a Venn diagram that compares the two.
• Write a list of statements on the board that might be true or false ( e.g. The 1956 Olympics were held in Melbourne, Australia. The rhinoceros is the largest land animal in the world. The current marathon world record is 2 hours, 7 minutes). Have students research these statements and decide whether they’re true or false by sharing their citations.

Staying Organised

• Make a list of different ways you can take notes while researching — Google Docs, Google Keep, pen and paper etc. Discuss the pros and cons of each method.
• Learn the keyboard shortcuts to help manage tabs (e.g. open new tab, reopen closed tab, go to next tab etc.). Perhaps students could all try out the shortcuts and share their favourite one with the class.
• Find a collection of resources on a topic and add them to a Wakelet .
• Listen to a short podcast or watch a brief video on a certain topic and sketchnote ideas. Sylvia Duckworth has some great tips about live sketchnoting
• Learn how to use split screen to have one window open with your research, and another open with your notes (e.g. a Google spreadsheet, Google Doc, Microsoft Word or OneNote etc.) .

All teachers know it’s important to teach students to research well. Investing time in this process will also pay off throughout the year and the years to come. Students will be able to focus on analysing and synthesizing information, rather than the mechanics of the research process.

By trying out as many of these mini-lessons as possible throughout the year, you’ll be really helping your students to thrive in all areas of school, work, and life.

Also remember to model your own searches explicitly during class time. Talk out loud as you look things up and ask students for input. Learning together is the way to go!

The digital era is deeply embedded in the structure of today’s universities, demanding that students cultivate effective online research skills. In an age where information is abundant but discernment is paramount, mastering the art of online research is a foundational skill for academic success. This article explores key strategies to empower university students in building effective online research skills, navigating the vast expanse of digital resources with confidence and proficiency.

1. Define your research for the assignment

Your research according to the assignment is a crucial step in the academic journey. It involves clearly articulating the scope, objectives, and methodology of your investigation in alignment with the assignment’s requirements. This process necessitates a concise yet comprehensive explanation of the research question, the significance of the study, and the anticipated outcomes. By meticulously defining your research, you not only fulfil the assignment criteria but also lay a solid foundation for a focused and purposeful scholarly inquiry.

2. Break down the assignment

Breaking down the assignment is vital for academic success. It involves dissecting the prompt to understand its key components, tasks, and deadlines. This process ensures a clear comprehension of expectations, enabling a systematic and organised approach to research and writing. It’s a foundational step for meeting assignment criteria efficiently.

3. Evaluate your sources

Evaluating sources is crucial for reliable research. It involves assessing credibility, reliability, and relevance. Scrutinising authors’ authority, publication venues, and checking for bias ensures trustworthy information. This process is fundamental for producing well-informed and academically sound work.

4. Avoid plagiarism

Avoiding plagiarism is essential in academic writing. It involves properly crediting sources for ideas, quotes, or paraphrased content. Follow the prescribed citation style, take detailed notes, and uphold academic honesty to ensure the integrity of your work.

5. Consult and collaborate with a librarian

Collaborating with a librarian is essential for effective research. Librarians offer expertise in navigating resources, refining research queries, and accessing scholarly materials. Their guidance enhances the quality of your research, ensuring you make the most of available resources with precision.

6. Use library databases

Using library databases is crucial for credible research. They provide access to scholarly articles and resources not easily found through general searches, ensuring the reliability of the information you include in your work and enhancing the overall quality of your research.

7. Practise effective reading

Effective reading is fundamental for academic success. It involves purposeful, focused reading, emphasising comprehension and critical analysis. This skill enhances the ability to extract meaningful insights from texts, contributing to a deeper understanding of the subject matter and facilitating more informed research and writing.

In conclusion, honing effective online research skills is paramount in the contemporary academic landscape. These skills not only meet the immediate demands of academic assignments but also equip learners for a lifelong journey of continuous learning and informed inquiry. As educational institutions, including online platforms like Unicaf , integrate these strategies into their programmes, they play a pivotal role in shaping a generation of researchers and scholars adept at harnessing the power of online resources for academic excellence. Ultimately, building effective online research skills is not just a means to an end; it’s a transformative journey towards becoming astute, discerning, and empowered contributors to the world of knowledge.

The 6 Online Research Skills Your Students Need

1. Check Your Sources

The Skill:  Evaluating information found in your sources based on accuracy, validity, appropriateness for needs, importance, and social and cultural context.

The Challenge:  While most kids know not to believe everything they read online, the majority also don’t take the time to fully evaluate their sources, according to the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. The same study showed that, on average, kids as young as 11 rate themselves as quite proficient Internet users, which may inflate their confidence.

The Solution:  As a class, discuss the benchmarks for evaluating a website: currency (Is the information up to date?), security (Does the site ask for too much personal information or prompt virus warnings?), scope (Is the knowledge in-depth?), and authority (Does the information come from a trusted expert?). Challenge partners to find one site that meets these benchmarks and one that fails to do so. During research projects, encourage students to check the standards off a list for each source they use.

2. Ask Good Questions

The Skills:  Developing and refining search queries to get better research results

The Challenge:  Students will enter a search term, say, “Abraham Lincoln,” and comb through pages of results that aren’t related to their research (think Lincoln beards, Lincoln Logs), rather than narrowing their original query (“Lincoln assassination”).

The Solution:  Give small groups three search terms each, ranging from the general to the specific (e.g., “national parks,” “Yellowstone,” and “Yellowstone founding date”). Ask the groups to record how many results are returned for each term. Discuss how specificity can narrow their search to the results they need. Next, challenge groups to develop three alternate search terms for the most specific item on their lists. (For the Yellowstone example, alternate terms might include “When was Yellowstone founded?” “history of Yellowstone” and “Who founded Yellowstone?”) Compare the results and discuss how changing a few words can generate different information.

3. Go Beyond the Surface

The Skill:  Displaying persistence by continuing to pursue information to gain a broad perspective

The Challenge:  Studies have shown that kids often stop at the first search result when using a search engine that they deem the most trustworthy.

The Solution:  Invite students to create fact trees about whatever they are researching. The starting question is the root of the tree — for example, “How many planets are in the Milky Way?” Then, on branches coming out from the tree, students write facts or pieces of information that answer the question (“Scientists don’t know the exact number,” “There could be billions”). The catch is that each fact must come from a separate, documented source. Encourage students to find at least 10 sources of information to complete their fact trees.

4. Be Patient

The Skill:  Displaying emotional resilience by persisting in information searching despite challenges

The Challenge:  Today’s students are used to information on demand. So when they can’t find the answers to their questions after they’ve spent a few minutes poking around online, they may grow frustrated and throw in the towel.

The Solution:  Challenge teams to develop a well-researched answer to a question that isn’t “Google-able.” Opinion questions about popular culture work well for this activity. For example, “Who’s the best actor ever to have played James Bond?” “Which brand is better: the Jonas Brothers or Justin Bieber?” Encourage teams to use various sources to answer their questions, including what others have said, box office receipts, and awards. Determine a winner based on which team presents the most convincing case.

5. Respect Ownership

The Skill:  Respecting intellectual property rights of creators and producers

The Challenge:  Increasingly, young people don’t see piracy as stealing. One survey found that 86 percent of teens felt music piracy was “morally acceptable.”

The Solution:  Make it personal. Invite students to write about what it would feel like to get a record deal, star in a movie, or publish a book. As a class, discuss the emotions involved. Then introduce the idea of piracy. Ask, “How would you feel if someone downloaded your music, movie, or book without paying for it?” You might also talk about how it would feel not to get paid for other types of work, such as working in an office or a school. How is piracy similar? How is it different?

6. Use Your Networks

The Skill:  Using social networks and information tools to gather and share information

The Challenge:  Some kids don’t understand the line between sharing information and plagiarizing it. A survey by plagiarism-prevention firm Turnitin found that the most widely used sources for cribbed material are sites like Facebook, Wikipedia, and Ask.com.

The Solution:  Talk to kids about when you might use social sites for research. Provide a list of topics and have partners decide whether it would be a good idea to use these tools. Suggested topics: your family’s countries of origin, the life of Alexander the Great, and the events of September 11, 2001. What could members of your network contribute to each of these discussions? How wouldn’t they be helpful? How would you include information that friends and family share in your work?

Also, explain that Wikipedia must be evaluated like any other website. In particular, students should focus on the sources cited in a Wikipedia article and ensure these sources are legitimate. You might have small groups analyze all sources for one Wikipedia article for currency, authority, scope, and security. Emphasize that it’s usually better to go back to the source than to quote directly from Wikipedia.

RESEARCH: TECH AND THE TEEN BRAIN

• Multitasking Takes a Toll According to research at the University of Michigan, homework can take between 25 to 400 percent longer when teens take breaks to check e-mail and download music. They lose time not only to the interruptions but also because they must reorient themselves when they return to the material.  
• Sleep Is Getting Short Shrift Earlier this year, the National Sleep Foundation released a survey showing that the average teen sleeps just seven and a half hours a night, two hours less than recommended for healthy brain development. The culprits? Televisions, laptops, and cell phones in students’ bedrooms.  
• Inhibition Losing Ground Psychologists call the result of online anonymity “the disinhibition effect” because people of all ages share more than they would in real life. While this effect can lead to bullying, the good news is that there is also “benign disinhibition,” — such as gay teens finding online support.

10 Tips To Improve Your Online Research Skills

The world of the internet is gigantic. And we could easily lose direction if we don’t have the faintest idea about proper research skills and techniques. Around 1 trillion megabytes of data is produced on the internet every day. Hence, finding the data that ticks all your boxes require you to curate the data in a strategic way.

This article will walk you through the ten cardinal steps to improve how you utilize the internet for retrieving information. We are here to help enhance your research skills and ace in that research project you are working on!

Colleges arrange all sorts of writing seminar classes and workshops. However, the part where we teach real-life research skills to the freshers hardly ever happens. At best, students get a tour of the campus library with the librarian. However, the tour includes next to zero guidance on utilising the library resources with efficacy.

Considering the situation, students often rely on Wikipedia because it is quicker for a rundown of the information they need. However, learning research techniques can be good for your personal development. And college may not assist you in the process. So, you need to acquire the research skills and work on them by yourself.

Without further ado, let’s look at the ten techniques you can follow to become an expert in research.

1. Start Broad to Find a Specific Topic That Sticks

The first step in developing your research skills is to start big. Look into and read about the controversial issues around the world right now. If you are writing a paper for college, chances are your instructor already rolled out guidelines. Follow them for writing an appropriate paper.

If you do not adhere to the parameters, your instructor may not deem it as acceptable. For instance, you can’t write a paper on the origin of the Olympic Games in a STEM class. Hence, the topic has to be course-appropriate.

However, choosing the topic you want to work with will be solely your decision. The basic tip to selecting a topic is to choose something you are personally interested in. This will weaponise your motivation to deliver great content to your reader. Secondly, you will enjoy yourselves as you brush up on your research skills, learning more about the issue.

2. Do a Preliminary Search Online

Before you start writing, do a quick search on Google or Wikipedia. It will provide you with a brief idea about the work that has been previously done on the topic you want to work with. However, it doesn’t necessarily mean you can use Wikipedia or Google as reliable sources.

Use these tools to get an overview and a clearer understanding. Moreover, this is one of the vital research skills you can use to make sense of keywords. Using the appropriate keywords will help pose your arguments carefully. For instance, if you want to write a paper on the legalisation of marijuana, do not type that into the search engine. Instead, put the word marijuana and see what comes up.

Use broader keywords to get better results. Consequently, draw an outline of questions. And use those questions as keywords to look up online. It is one of the crucial tips for enhancing your research skills. Consequently, the more source of information you can have, the more original your paper will be.

We’ve all been through the struggle of finding valid information for our semester final analysis paper. You might be an excellent writer or drafter. But not having proper research skills can stop you from reaping the benefits of your gift.

You can take our internet research skills training course and learn how to find accurate information. The course will teach you to evaluate and validate the credibility of your source.

3. Proper Use of Online Search Engine & Learning Tools

Using of online search engine more efficiently improves your research skills. So don’t spend all your time on Google, or just one search engine for that matter. First off, use your organisation’s online library resources. School libraries tend to have subscriptions to a plethora of academic databases.

Next, make yourself acquainted with Worldcat . It has over 2 billion bibliography items ready for you. Consequently, WorldCat is connected to library catalogues all over the world. You can use this feature to locate a particular journal, article, or book’s whereabouts. In short, WorldCat is the best friend every researcher wishes to have.

Consequently, you need to know how to experiment with keywords and filters. You might be knowledgeable about an ample amount of search engines. But having access to it won’t necessarily help.

It would help if you refined your online searches for better results. You can’t just type in a phrase and hit the search button because you will not find the data you want if you do that. This is where your expertise on keywords can help. Extract the essential words from your research questions. Moreover, use words synonymous with your keywords to generate better search results.

Using refined keywords and filters can help you dig deep into the subjects. As a result, you can find specific and useful information on your topic. Thus, keywords and filters are the ultimate search engine optimizing tools.

4. Analyse the Credibility of Your Source

Anybody can publish their work or opinions on the internet. While you should not limit your research to a couple of articles, you should discern the source’s credibility. You can assess and analyse the credibility by always remaining vigilant.

Ask yourself questions like, does the source provide a similar view like other sources? Can the source give enough evidence to back up its claims? Does the source seem biased or have an ulterior motive? Does the author have sufficient expertise in their field? For instance, if an English major graduate starts conceptualising theories of quantum physics, steer clear right away.

For academic purposes, it is best to source information from academic journals and articles. However, books written on the broader aspect of your topic can be excellent sources too. Academic books have a lot to offer. Apart from the information, you can take up a tip or two about improving your research skills. 

Using newspapers and blogs as credible sources are frowned upon in academia. However, it won’t hurt you to read them. If anything, these would make you more knowledgeable because blogs and newspapers present you with more unprocessed and practical information in real-time.

5. Cross-Check Your Information

You now know where to and how to collect information from credible sources. Cross-checking the information you collected is integral in enhancing your research skills. As we’ve mentioned earlier, the internet is a big place. Anybody can publish their work without any factual checking.

Sometimes, the information from a source can be outright wrong. Hence, you must cross-check information with at least two other web pages. Remember the phrase that you don’t buy the first car you see? The rule applies to gathering information online as well. You should not get stuck on just one webpage. Stick to sources that have made their reputation providing quality information.

If you can’t verify the truth of the information to your satisfaction, better not to use it at all. Also, steer clear of social media for collecting data. It is a beehive full of misinformation.

6. Take Notes & Organise Your Information

The initial stage of honing your research skills can feel a lot like trudging through the mud. There are millions of data out there. Moreover, there could be thousands of previous research done on your topic. Needless to say, going through thousands of articles or journals is next to impossible.

However, you need to note down every useful information you can get from the source. This technique will help make your work more informative. Moreover, noting down the information will help you to be more organised. If you don’t take notes from the beginning, useful data might get neglected in the process.

Consequently, you might find yourself going through the same article multiple times to find a piece of information. This could make you feel lost and frustrated. Moreover, it takes away your precious time. While noting down the quotes and information, note down the page number and bibliography on the side. It saves you from fumbling away.

Consequently, make notes of your speeding thoughts in the notebook. Because chances are you won’t get the same idea twice. Make use of the bookmark tool. You can store the URLs in the bookmark in a separate folder. It will be easier for you to navigate. And later on, you could easily make a bibliography of all your references from the bookmark.

7. Cite Your Sources

You always need to give credit and cite your sources. Not citing your sources fall under the category of plagiarism. And it is a  severe violation of academic integrity. Hence, give credit where credit is due.

Moreover, citing your sources further increases your credibility.  In contrast, passing off someone else’s words as yours make your readers sceptic. Even if you plagiarise a single sentence, the whole point gets lost. No amount of research skills can help if you do not cite your sources. You can use any of the two popular citation formats; APA or MLA.

By citing your sources, you are also helping others brush up their research skills. As reading and collecting information from reliable sources is integral in developing your research skills. No matter how good your argumentative paper is, your instructor can take disciplinary actions if you fail to cite your sources. Because in academia, plagiarism is avoidable while dishonesty is deplorable!

8. Put Your Time Management Skills Into Use

As soon as you get a project on hand, make a research schedule. Create a few hours window in a day when you do nothing except work on your research project. This will let you block all the distractions and focus on the work at hand. In a sense, your time management skills can help you level up your research skills.

Proper research needs a systematic strategy. Not maintaining a timesheet can throw you off the schedule. You may feel like you are all over the place. Your progress may even seem cluttered. Map out how many minutes you will spend on each article. Moreover, you can make a routine of short breaks that you need to take in-between.

Choose a day in a week you feel more comfortable fiddling around in the library. It is better if you stop yourself from checking socials while working. Even just a little peek could throw you off the track. Because when you take an unscheduled break to check your emails, you have to reorient yourself when you come back. So, it is better to put your phone in do not disturb mode because it will help you keep focused.

9. Be Patient & Tackle Challenges

In the present world, we are used to getting things instantaneously. Do you want the latest iPhone? You pre-order it and receive it on the release day at once. Need a waffle machine?  Amazon Prime comes in with their same-day delivery policy.

However, the scholastic and research world is very different. In the sense that no one will serve you the data on a silver platter. You need to throw your hat into the ring and  get the job  done by yourself! And sometimes, searching through a pool of data and information can become very tedious.

You might even get frustrated if you do not find the answers you were looking for. And that is okay! However, you should not throw in the towel. Part of being a good researcher is about being patient and persistent. Some days, you might not find what you are looking for.

Regardless, you have to tackle all the challenges for finding the relevant information. Use sources that are even remotely related to what you are looking for. Sometimes, your job will be about drawing the faintest connection between a source and your topic. Moreover, you will need to comprehend and analyse the source for bringing attention to new ideas.

10. Be Ready For Unexpected Answers

Embracing uncertainty is what makes someone a good researcher with optimised research skills. Keep an open mind while you go into research for a topic. You might be presented with some very surprising answers. That is the thrilling part of your job.

Remember, mere looking for confirmation for what you already know is not a good practice. It makes your research scope too narrow and limiting. Moreover, there might not be enough information online on your research. Consequently, the sources may present arguments contradictory to your views. And you need to be okay with that!

Because you need answers to your research question, not reaffirm your belief, reformulating your opinions based on facts and evidence is a good practice. In addition, it adds to the effort of strengthening your research skills.

Research is not just about going through tons of articles or newspapers in a day. Online research skills are all about techniques. Believe it or not, your online research skills are not just for academia. These are transferable work skills. These 10-step research strategies are going to increase your productivity at the workplace, too.

For instance, you may need to research your competitor and develop a better marketing strategy. And to do that, you need to dig deeper and research what your consumers need. The process can be compared to a domino effect. It would help if you devised a proper game plan before diving into it.

Employers should be aware of what certifications and courses are in demand so they can tailor their ... [+] L&D approach and retain their employees, catering to their needs

By now, it's very apparent that continuous learning can make or break your career. Career growth and progression hinges on the steps you take now to improve and develop your skills.

And thankfully, more than ever before, professionals around the world now have access to an unlimited universe of opportunities for learning and development.

According to research and analysis by Statista, the global e-learning market is projected to reach a value of $400 billion by 2026, with thousands of established and newer providers (including independent consultants and thought leaders) offering unprecedented access to a wide array of courses and certifications to enhance your skills and career prospects.

Leading industry players, such as Coursera, PMI (the Project Management Institute) and Amazon's AWS, have revamped their online educational offerings to meet the evolving needs of workers seeking to upskill in tandem with recent industry changes, such as AI (artificial intelligence) and the pressing demand for high-income technical and soft skills. Other providers are also following suit.

With the wide array of online courses and certificates available (many of which are free or relatively low-priced), it appears that workers are turning to specific courses more than others, in a bid to become relevant in their line of work and upskill.

Semrush analysis of professionals seeking to gain certifications to add to their resume (through analyzing Semrush search results) reveals the current sentiment among workers, and shows areas of demand which are gaining widespread popularity as the most-sought-after courses and certificates.

Best High-Yield Savings Accounts Of 2024

Understanding what these top five in-demand certifications and online courses are can be helpful in several ways:

First, it enables you to understand what are the relevant skills that you need to enhance your credibility and employment prospects as a professional. If more people are searching for it, this indicates high interest, and for good reason.

From an employer perspective, knowing the most sought after online certificates can help you become highly attractive as an employer, because you will be investing in the right training for your employees, which leads to increased productivity, innovation, and high employee retention rates.

(Employees value when an employer contributes to their career and professional development, making this a high priority and even walking out of their jobs if necessary.) Therefore, identifying the most valued courses can help shape your corporate training programs and future professional development strategies.

And for businesses and course providers in general, these insights are useful for providing actionable data from industry trends that can help inform future online educational offerings based on what employers and learners are seeking.

Teaching Research Skills That Transfer to Future Projects

Exploratory research teaches skills that have lifelong use..

Updated August 1, 2024 | Reviewed by Monica Vilhauer

This post is the fourth in a series.

When helping students become researchers, the goal is not only to equip students to tackle a current research project but also to ensure the learned skills will stay with them for future endeavors. Students must understand which research staples must be applied under any circumstances (like critically evaluating sources or following ethical guidelines) while maintaining the flexibility to try different approaches and make new connections. Students at Laguna Beach High School (LBHS) are learning to do just that.

In Part I of this series I spoke to Jun Shen, the passionate teacher and ed-tech coordinator who runs LBHS’s Authentic Exploratory Research (AER) program . AER is an independent research course inspired by Palo Alto Unified School District’s Advanced Authentic Research program . The program pairs students with adult mentors (such as LBUSD staff, industry experts, and academics) who assist the teens in researching their big questions in fields of their choice.

Former LBHS student Carter Ghere was the third teenager to give us an account of his experience in AER and the findings that his AER research produced. A benefit to meeting with Ghere was that he has since moved on to projects outside the AER program, such as promoting physical and mental health . The research skills Ghere honed in AER, combined with his passion for his new endeavors, show us how students can learn research skills in a way that has lasting benefits.

Jenny Grant Rankin: What can teachers do to help students research effectively, not only for current projects but also for future research endeavors?

Carter Ghere: Teachers can encourage students to think about minor aspects of the project that greatly influence the thesis rather than just the thesis question itself. When I researched car design and why it varies, I had to consider each factor that could help me build a strong argument. What started as research on cars very quickly turned into research into socioeconomics, societal upbringing, and government involvement in diplomatic events and conflict. Automotive design changed because manufacturers were competing against each other to sell more cars or improve efficiency, but mass appeal is the biggest driving aspect of change, so I had to research what changes mass appeal and where interests originate from. Laterally, researching aspects of influence opens up much research to apply to your projects, instead of searching for the answer most people already know. Teachers can teach their students how to see the hidden influences, draw conclusions themselves to strengthen their arguments, and accelerate the research process. Knowing how to do research effectively carries over a lifetime, making every new learning endeavor exciting for students instead of monotonous.

JGR: What was the most significant thing you learned about conducting research?

CG: Relevance and impact. The biggest thing I learned while I was conducting research was keeping in mind how your study affects the current information already available. It’s easy to research and quote what most people know, but genuinely effective research isn’t commonly known or even thought of; the research is supposed to question the current knowledge to create new knowledge.

JGR: What was the most significant thing you learned about communicating research or other work?

CG: Knowing your audience is the biggest thing I learned about communicating my work. Putting myself in the shoes of someone reading my work helped me curate my research to better explain my findings to someone who may need to learn about my topic or why this is important. The last thing you want your audience to feel is confusion; a clear, simple explanation of your findings helps the reader draw their connections and relate them to what they already know.

JGR: What lessons learned in AER do you find yourself applying in your current efforts to promote mental health?

CG: The research experience I have from AER accelerated the work I’ve done beyond high school. In terms of research and the actual information I give out, I know that what I’m discovering isn’t new, but the personal opinion that I have is, and that’s what AER taught me. The thoughts that I have on the subject matter of lifestyle and self-development have more relevance than just plain information.

Learning through apprenticeship and embracing the guidance of a mentor profoundly expanded my understanding. This experience made me realize the vast opportunities I still have to learn and grow. At AER, I had the chance to engage in research, connect with experts in the field, develop personal convictions that I am passionate about, ensure these ideas resonate with others, and communicate them effectively.

Ghere demonstrates what we want students to be able to do with the knowledge and skills we teach: to remember, apply, and develop them perpetually. Ideally, as in Ghere’s case, students also use their research skills to help others and improve our world. To continue reading, look for Part V .

Missouri's tax-free holiday for back-to-school shopping is this weekend. Here are some tips

Families are expected to spend $875 on average for school supplies, clothing and backpacks this year. Here are a few ways to help lower the bill.

Updated August 02, 2024 at 16:37 PM ET

As summer comes to a close, back-to-school shopping enters full swing.

American families with kids from elementary to high school are expected to spend an average of $875 on back-to-school items, according to the National Retail Federation's annual back-to-school survey .

The high price tag for new clothes, laptops and pencils can feel intimidating, especially as families struggle with inflation. We asked some retail experts for advice and compiled five ways to reduce the cost of back-to-school shopping.

Plan around tax-free shopping dates

Seventeen states offer sales-tax holidays throughout the back-to-school shopping season. This weekend, people in nine states (Arkansas, Florida, Iowa, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia) will be able to save on school supplies, clothing, electronics and more.

"Definitely a good time to stock up, especially if you need bigger-ticket items like a computer, iPad, things like that," said Ashley Patrick, founder of Budgets Made Easy , a personal finance blog for families. "You can save 7 to 9 or more percent, depending on what state you're in that is doing it, so that's a huge savings right off the top.”

The eligible categories and maximum savings vary by state, but details can be found on a list compiled by the Federation of Tax Administrators .

Spread out shopping

While it may feel more convenient, checking off your entire list in one shopping trip is often less cost-effective. Visiting multiple stores over the course of a few weeks ensures that you can access all the different promotions.

"I've been recommending this as long as I've been doing this work," said Samantha Gordon, deals editor for Consumer Reports. "If you try to get it all done in one shot, you're not going to be able to take advantage of the deals because we do see back-to-school sales come and go throughout the season."

Prioritize what your kid needs for the first few weeks of school, Patrick said.

"They don't need 30 pencils the first day of school. They don't need six glue sticks and all the things on the first day," Patrick said. Larger sales that happen after school resumes can help fill any gaps for items that were initially missed.

Research beforehand

Doing some homework before shopping can help uncover lots of discounts for back-to-school items. Signing up for loyalty programs, looking on social media and being familiar with the prices of the items on your list are all ways to help reduce the cost.

Natalie Kotlyar, who tracks retail as a principal at accounting and advisory firm BDO, encourages consumers to establish loyalty at their favorite retailers.

"Sometimes they get special discounts, special shopping windows, and then, of course, they earn points that they can cash in for dollars," Kotlyar said.

Lots of big retailers also offer specific student discounts, but some require signing up with a school email.

"Apple is a big one for that. They offer discounts on their laptops, on their cellphones. You can also find discounts on phone plans, on clothing and even online subscriptions like Amazon Prime," Gordon said.

Take advantage of price matching — even after checkout

If you see a cheaper price on a store's website, most big retailers will honor it in person too. While policies vary, some retailers like Best Buy will also match a cheaper deal found at a competing store.

"That's been around for some time, and consumers don't really know about it or utilize it as much as they should," said Kotlyar.

Even after checking out, monitoring the prices of the items you bought can help you save some money. Stores like Target offer retroactive price matching and will refund you the difference if an item you bought goes on sale within two weeks after purchasing.

"You can go to customer service and say, 'I just bought this, and now it's on sale. Can you refund me the difference?' And in most cases, they're set up to just say yes," said Gordon. "Otherwise, what you can do is return the product and then buy it again for the cheaper value."

Consider buying in bulk

Buying in bulk, often at wholesale stores like Costco, Sam's Club and BJ's, can help save on the unit price of an item. For nonperishable items like pencils, stocking up can help save money long term, especially in households with multiple kids.

Even for smaller families, Gordon suggests sharing bulk items to cut back on costs.

"If you have another family that you're close with, you can team up, split the cost of the membership, split the cost of the items too. You might not need 500 of one thing, but you might need 250, and then the other family can use the other half."

Research is the driving force behind human progress and is fueled by our natural curiosity. To satisfy this curiosity, we ask questions, analyse data and immerse ourselves in learning processes. Without inquiry and a healthy dose of curiosity, our knowledge and progress would stall and the modern world would be entirely different. Research broadens our field of knowledge, helps to increase people’s credibility, brings people closer, aids in solving problems and helps companies scale new heights. Its benefits are multifold and its impact on our collective curiosity and progress cannot be overstated. By utilising appropriate research methods and techniques, anyone can conduct research that produces precise and dependable results. This research methodology course equips you with the skills and strategies required to conduct proper research and obtain the information and solutions you need. We show you how to apply these methods in the world of business and cover diverse topics like assessments, business plans, research reports and more.

We start by introducing you to the concepts of objectives and scope, self-assessment and personal management skills. We'll identify the qualities that students studying business and management should have, including the organisational skills that are crucial for conducting research. We then compare primary and secondary types of background research and their research roles. We study the various types of interviews used in research, including structured and unstructured interviews. The course examines different types of questionnaires and lays out their advantages in terms of research. Recording information from various sources or platforms as a researcher can free you from the shackles of having to recall vital information, which is why note-taking is crucial to the research process as it enables effective information recording and data storage and analysis. We show you how to effectively take and write notes and provide effective reading strategies used to improve memory and comprehension.

The course then moves on to the concept of ‘active listening’ and discusses its purpose and benefits. We show you how to plan research and write a research proposal. We then explain how experienced readers of business plans review and evaluate them and lay out the dos and don'ts of writing a successful business plan. The course includes a data science section that provides data analysis methods. Finally, we take you through the steps of reaching research conclusions and provide effective ways to interpret and communicate research findings while making recommendations and identifying research limitations. Research is widely recognised in the business field and the academic community. It helps us to understand the world around us, make decisions, identify goals and resolve issues. This research methods course has no prerequisites and is designed for anyone who wants to acquire these skills, from students to business moguls. Research plays a key role in business so sign up to hone your research skills and learn how to apply them to grow your business.

Does pursuing a college education still make sense in the age of online learning and AI — when we have access to information for free via the internet? The problem with this question is that it frames college as an information gatekeeper, misunderstanding much of its value. For many, higher education institutions offer more than that: a transformative journey where students can network and develop transferable soft skills that require teamwork and repetition. You can maximize your college experience by leaning into these opportunities while simultaneously staying up to date with the latest technological trends. By being agile, networking vigorously, cultivating problem-solving skills, and seeking learning opportunities in the real world while in school, you can prepare yourself for a successful career. Today, we have access to more information than ever before. YouTube and TikTok can provide us with in-depth learning opportunities for free — from professional development tips to AI tutorials .

Rehabilitation Brain Concussion Growing research supports the central role of psychological factors, including anxiety and depression, in recovery from sport-related concussion (SRC). 1 Indeed, mental health is among the most robust predictors of concussion outcomes, including SRC. 1 This is reflected in the recent Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport, 2 which explicitly recommends consideration of anxiety, depression and psychological response to injury in assessment and treatment, including referrals for psychological evaluation as needed. However, these recommendations often fail to trickle down to clinical practice. Psychological factors remain under-addressed, 3 and programmes specifically addressing psychological factors after SRC (eg, dealing with anxiety, teaching coping skills) remain scarce. In this commentary, we identify four challenges impeding the integration of psychological care into the treatment of SRC, and we propose strategies to ‘tackle’ these challenges. Challenge 1: the importance of assessing psychological needs following SRC Despite considerable support for a biopsychosocial approach in SRC assessment and treatment as well as recommendations to monitor and address anxiety and depression symptoms in concussion treatment guidelines (eg, Ontario Living Concussion Guidelines), 4 the majority of SRC measures neither require robust psychological health screening nor typically include metrics to assess coping skills. The most highly recommended screening and assessment tools, including the most recent Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport, the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool 6, the Sport Concussion Office Assessment Tool (SCOAT6), Post-Concussion Symptom Scale and the Rivermead Post Concussion Symptoms Questionnaire, are limited to a gross and non-specific assessment of psychological factors. 2 5–8 The recently released SCOAT6 covers more psychological factors than previous measures, yet these are classified as ‘optional’. Despite acknowledging psychological factors, these tools and recommendations remain discordant with the mounting evidence supporting the importance and prognostic value of psychological factors in recovery from SRC. 1 9 This likely results in under-identifying emotional and psychological needs important … X @katejoch Contributors KNJ led the conceptional design, prepared the manuscript and critically reviewed the manuscript.
