From the Paper:

"My undergraduate degree is in Computer Science and my graduate degree is in Electronic Commerce. My chosen specialization will enable me to learn how to better combine effective online teaching techniques with my computer science background. My degree in electronic commerce will also give me additional background in marketing online learning experiences to students, and matching the needs of the customer, in this case the student, to the product. Furthermore, as many online students are choosing to gain degrees in my graduate field, I will have additional experience in using my knowledge to create effective curriculums."
"As well as receiving an education in these disciplines relevant to my desired degree, I have worked as a teacher myself and taught high school students academic math and critical thinking."
