The Importance of Feedback, Reinforcement, and Motivational Incentives

Kelley McKee: Student, Penn State World Campus

Celena Kush reports on an interesting story of motivation achieved by a woman paralyzed from the neck down, but changing her career and her life through the distance education at the Penn State World Campus.

At 27-years old, Kelly McKee was a mother, wife and legal assistant when an accident left her paralyzed. Most traditional schools did not let her effectively balance her education with her situation. Penn State's Distance Education program changed that. "Distance Education affords me an opportunity to pursue my own goals and personal work. My education is separate from my issues regarding my disability or my family life and caring for my children."

Kelly takes 12-credits every semester and plans on pursuing an online graduate degree when she is finished with her undergrad work.

The lesson to take away from this article is the power that effective learning can provide individuals.
