❑ TRADUÇÃO DO TEXTO:

Now, according to an annual survey by the Babson Survey Research Group and the Online Learning Consortium, more than 6.3 million students took at least one distance education course in the Fall 2016 semester (the most recent academic year for which data is available). That’s 31.6 percent of all higher education enrollments, according to the study, and about half of them were taking all of their classes online.

(Agora, de acordo com um inquérito anual do Babson Survey Research Group e do Online Learning Consortium, mais de 6,3 milhões de estudantes frequentaram pelo menos um curso de ensino à distância no semestre do outono de 2016 (o ano académico mais recente para o qual existem dados disponíveis). De acordo com o estudo, isso representa 31,6% de todas as matrículas no ensino superior, e cerca de metade desses estudantes frequentavam todas as aulas online.)

Many of these students are traditional age. But for adult students (generally defined as those 25 and over, working fulltime jobs or with parenting responsibilities) online education is a particularly attractive option. Citing several studies, Louis Soares, chief learning and innovation officer for the American Council on Education, says that about a third of all adult students — roughly 13 million — are pursuing advanced degrees online.

(Muitos destes estudantes estão na idade tradicional. Mas para os estudantes adultos (geralmente definidos como pessoas com 25 anos ou mais, que trabalham a tempo inteiro ou têm responsabilidades parentais) o ensino em linha é uma opção particularmente atractiva. Citando vários estudos, Louis Soares, diretor de aprendizagem e inovação do Conselho Americano de Educação, afirma que cerca de um terço de todos os estudantes adultos - aproximadamente 13 milhões - estão a obter diplomas avançados em linha.)

“I think it has given adult students more opportunities,” Mr. Soares said. “If done correctly, online education can create a robust learning experience.”

("Penso que deu mais oportunidades aos estudantes adultos", disse o Sr. Soares. "Se for feito corretamente, o ensino em linha pode criar uma experiência de aprendizagem sólida.")

Research has shown that students can learn as well online as they can in a face to face classroom, according to Jovita RossGordon, a professor at Texas State University.

(A pesquisa demonstrou que os alunos podem aprender tão bem em linha como numa sala de aula presencial, de acordo com Jovita RossGordon, professora da Texas State University.)

“In terms of pros and cons, it offers great convenience and access for populations who might not otherwise have it,” said Professor Ross-Gordon, an expert on adult education. “But a certain degree of self-direction is required. And it can be isolating for some folks.”

("Em termos de prós e contras, oferece uma grande comodidade e acesso a populações que, de outra forma, não o teriam", afirmou o Professor Ross-Gordon, especialista em educação de adultos. "Mas é necessário um certo grau de auto-direção. E pode ser isolante para algumas pessoas.")

The vast majority of colleges and universities in the United States offer at least some online classes, but there are still those who question its legitimacy and also the quality of for-profit colleges whose curriculum is offered solely online.

(A grande maioria dos colégios e universidades dos Estados Unidos oferece, pelo menos, algumas aulas em linha, mas ainda há quem questione a sua legitimidade e também a qualidade dos colégios com fins lucrativos cujo currículo é oferecido exclusivamente em linha.)

Walden University, where Mr. Haynes is earning his doctoral degree, is one such institution. He said that he researched the school through the V.A. and other sources, and heard positive reports from a friend who was also pursuing his doctorate in business administration at Walden, which Mr. Haynes learned was accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools.

(A Walden University, onde o Sr. Haynes está obtendo o seu doutoramento, é uma dessas instituições. Ele disse que pesquisou a escola através do V.A. e de outras fontes, e ouviu relatos positivos de um amigo que também estava a tirar o seu doutoramento em administração de empresas na Walden, que o Sr. Haynes soube ser acreditada pelo Accreditation Council for Business Schools.)

For Manda Gibson, online education is the preferred mode of learning. “I love it,” said Ms. Gibson, 45, the mother of four, who works full-time as an instructional designer at Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa. Ms. Gibson is pursuing her master’s in business administration online with Colorado State University-Global Campus, and before that earned a bachelor of arts in management, taking mostly online classes, at Simpson.

(Para Manda Gibson, o ensino em linha é o modo de aprendizagem preferido. "Adoro", disse Manda Gibson, 45 anos, mãe de quatro filhos, que trabalha a tempo inteiro como designer instrucional no Simpson College em Indianola, Iowa. A Sra. Gibson está a fazer o seu mestrado em administração de empresas online na Universidade Estatal do Colorado-Campus Global e, antes disso, obteve um bacharelato em gestão, frequentando maioritariamente aulas online, na Simpson.)

“When I sit in a regular class, my mind wanders,” she says. “`Did I do this for my kids?’ ‘What am I making for dinner tonight?’ When I do online, I can say, ‘this hour is my hour.’”

("Quando me sento numa aula normal, a minha mente divaga", diz ela. "Será que fiz isto para os meus filhos?" "O que vou fazer para o jantar de hoje? Quando faço online, posso dizer: 'esta hora é a minha hora'.")

But she says, with the flexibility of online education comes responsibility. “You have to take it seriously,” she said. “Some people think online classes are easier. I think it’s actually more work. Because you might have to spend more time with the content.”

(Mas, segundo ela, com a flexibilidade do ensino em linha vem a responsabilidade. "É preciso levá-lo a sério", afirma. "Algumas pessoas pensam que as aulas online são mais fáceis. Eu acho que, na verdade, dão mais trabalho. Porque podes ter de passar mais tempo com o conteúdo.")

Time is a commodity that Mr. Haynes, like many adult learners, has little of. He and his wife — Sgt. Chelsea Aiko Haynes of the Army — have six children, ranging in age from 1 to 17. He is also active with the Semper Fi Fund, a nonprofit organization that provides financial assistance for catastrophically injured servicemen and women. But most days, after the children are off to school and his wife is at her job at the Pentagon, he sits down in the living room with his MacBook Air and gets ready to learn. “I open the blinds to get some natural sunlight in,” he said. “The TV’s off, the phone’s on vibrate. And I commit myself fully to my studies.”

(O tempo é um bem de que o Sr. Haynes, tal como muitos aprendentes adultos, dispõe pouco. Ele e a sua mulher - a Sargento Chelsea Aiko Haynes do Exército - têm seis filhos, com idades compreendidas entre 1 e 17 anos. Ele também é ativo no Semper Fi Fund, uma organização sem fins lucrativos que presta assistência financeira a militares feridos catastroficamente. Mas na maior parte dos dias, depois de as crianças irem para a escola e a sua mulher estar no seu trabalho no Pentágono, senta-se na sala de estar com o seu MacBook Air e prepara-se para aprender. "Abro os estores para entrar alguma luz natural do sol", diz. "A televisão está desligada, o telemóvel está a vibrar. E dedico-me totalmente aos meus estudos.")

Here are some tips for success in online education for adult learners, from Jeremy Haynes and Manda Gibson, two students who have flourished in this learning environment, and from George Haber, an adjunct professor at Vaughn College in Queens, and a veteran of over 25 years of teaching online.

(Seguem-se algumas dicas para o sucesso no ensino em linha para alunos adultos, dadas por Jeremy Haynes e Manda Gibson, dois alunos que prosperaram neste ambiente de aprendizagem, e por George Haber, professor adjunto no Vaughn College, em Queens, e um veterano com mais de 25 anos de ensino em linha.)

Set aside specific time periods when you can do required reading or writing and stick to the schedule, whether it’s an hour a night three nights a week; Saturday or Sunday morning; or some combination.

(Reserve períodos de tempo específicos para fazer a leitura ou a escrita necessárias e cumpra o horário, quer seja uma hora por noite, três noites por semana; sábado ou domingo de manhã; ou qualquer outra combinação.)

Get acquainted with your academic adviser from the start, as he or she is your lifeline for anything at the institution.

(Familiarize-se com o seu conselheiro acadêmico desde o início, pois ele é a sua salvação para tudo na instituição.)

Choose a subject for your first online class that you’re interested in, if possible. You will be more likely to become engaged in the material and learn the technology.

(Se possível, escolha um tema para a sua primeira aula online que lhe interesse. Terá mais probabilidades de se interessar pela matéria e de aprender a tecnologia.)

Ask questions and reach out for help early. Don’t get frustrated if you don’t understand something; a quality online program will not only have self-help tutorials, but also good student services to help with the details.

(Faça perguntas e peça ajuda desde o início. Não fique frustrado se não perceber alguma coisa; um programa online de qualidade não só terá tutoriais de autoajuda, como também bons serviços de apoio aos estudantes para ajudar com os pormenores.)

Take part in any online discussions or forums. Your lack of participation will be easily noted by the instructor.

(Participe em todos os debates ou fóruns em linha. A sua falta de participação será facilmente notada pelo professor.)
