I am currently 2 classes away from completing my Masters in Elementary Education. The educational component has been outstanding. It relates to real life classrooms and gives teacher candidates confidence and abilities to integrate technology and a team approach into teaching.
Most of the facilitators I had were open to various learning and teaching methods which matched UoPX's curriculum philosophy . There were a few facilitators who were diffucult to work with, but isn't that part of life? UoPX integrates team assignments into the curriculum, but essentially most students just choose a part of the assignment and post at the last minute. I have been lucky to find orher classmates who take these assignments seriously and we actually collaborate. In my opinion, UoPX should take a look at how to incorporate communication within team assignments into the grading system.
I would recommend UoPX online. I have enjoyed the curriculum, I have made several friends along the way, and I will bring a lot of the information I learned into my classroom.
