Glencar partners with Leicester Riders as official game night sponsor for Sky Sports encounter against Bristol Flyers

The game will be the first time the reigning Playoff champions have featured on Sky Sports since coverage got underway last week. The club are delighted to welcome Glencar Construction to the Riders family as an official game night sponsor for the first game on the channel. “The Leicester Riders young player pathway and community development programme has contributed massively, not only to the success of the team on the court, but also off the court in terms of providing young people with opportunities to grow, develop and be part of a success story” commented Glencar Managing Director Eddie McGillycuddy. “Basketball is an integral part of community sport and actually one of most played sports in the U.K. amongst young people. Glencar are very happy to partner with one of The British Basketball League’s leading teams who share our core values in investing in young people, education and community development.” Glencar Construction is a contractor specialising in the creation of high-quality turnkey facilities in partnership with some of the UK’s leading developers, occupiers, retailers and logistics businesses. “We are extremely excited to be working alongside a company such as Glencar which clearly shares our core values and sense of community,” said Leicester Riders’ Managing Director Russell Levenston. “Like with our recent success on court it’s a chance for us to help celebrate Glencar’s recent successes off court, after being awarded top spot in the annual Sunday Times Virgin Atlantic Fast Track 100 league table.” Riders have made a great start to the 2020-21 season having qualified for the BBL Cup quarter final against Glasgow Rocks and opened their league campaign with a victory over Surrey Scorchers. Jamell Anderson, who was a standout versus Surrey added: “Leicester is a club that’s synonymous with leading the way in British Basketball as well as its work in local community so the partnership with Glencar is a great fit. “Everyone is looking forward to playing back in front of the Sky Sports cameras.” Sky Sports have also confirmed that Leicester will also feature on the channel on Friday 26 February when they host Worcester Wolves.

What Is Accelerated Online Learning?

Accelerated online learning is fast becoming the preferred choice by students and professionals. Education allows you to prepare yourself for your future career. You can also improve your skills and advance your career with the help of an accelerated online degree. It’s an excellent investment for your future. Accelerated online learning is a term used to describe what many people refer to as ‘enhanced e-learning.’ Many people believe that they can take classes in an online environment, so they don’t need to be physically present. While some colleges also offer on-campus accelerated online learning, most people take virtual classes because the only requirement is a stable Internet connection. In a traditional classroom, individuals are required to be physically present because that’s how the classroom system works. Students are taught by a teacher, who’s in a classroom with them, listening to questions and guiding them through the lessons. When students are unable to attend classes physically, it’s extremely difficult to continue learning. This is where online courses or virtual classrooms become useful. With the help of a computer, a person can take a class via the Internet and not have to attend class in a physical classroom. As a result, students learn at a much faster rate because they have a great deal of control over their learning environment. Another benefit of choosing online classes is that many people find that they can complete the classes on their own schedule and at their own pace. It means students can work out a schedule that allows them to work and study at the same time. Online Courses Versus Accelerated Online Learning Enrolling in online classes and taking up accelerated online degree programs have similarities and differences. Both methods allow an individual to take lessons through an e-course. While there are degree courses that can be done online, some may opt for e-books or modules delivered through e-mail. To access an e-course, the student goes online and logs in to a knowledge management system or other platform assigned by the service provider. Aside from sharing the same mode of instruction, which is over the Internet, both offer a convenient and hassle-free way to learn. Here are the benefits of online learning: Flexibility: When you are taking a course online, you can fit your busy schedule around it. Instead of having to plan your vacation or school breaks to help accommodate traditional classes, candidates can opt to study when they want to. Individuals who work long hours can use the flexible schedule to take classes when they have free time. Accessible: Students taking online courses can attend their classes from wherever they are. Online education allows students to take classes in the comfort of their own homes There is no travel time required to commute to and from school. You cannot obtain this flexibility from a traditional school. Lower expenses: Taking online classes means lower fees since you’re not going to use any of the physical facilities or structures of the school. You need not worry about spending on transportation or meals, just like when attending your classes in a traditional school platform. Equal opportunity: Technology has made it easier for everyone to pursue an education no matter one’s social and financial status. So, now that you know the benefits you’ll reap from online learning, you may be wondering what accelerated online education is. To make an informed and educated decision, first, you need to understand what accelerated online learning is. Second, its best to understand what differentiates accelerated online learning from the typical online courses. Third, you will learn the various factors that you should consider in choosing an accelerated online learning course and provider. What Is Accelerated Online Learning?  Online learning has gained popularity recently as an alternative method to traditional education. It allows you to complete your degree program from a distance, and at the same pace as you would if you’re attending an on-campus program. Accelerated online learning programs have several advantages over traditional programs. First, accelerated online degrees can be completed in as little as two years, compared to a typical four-year degree program. It translates to not only time saved, but also reduced expenses since you won’t need to pay for transportation fees going to and from your classes. Also, the cost of textbooks and other supplies will be greatly reduced, making your educational experience affordable. Second, accelerated online courses are a lot easier to take than traditional courses. Students who can’t get their work done on time because of their busy lives will appreciate this type of learning. You can complete the course in between work hours and on weekends, which means you won’t miss a day of class or, worse, an entire semester. As long as you pass the exams, you’ll finish your degree in less than two years. This is comparable to the time that it takes to finish the same course through a traditional on-campus college. Third, because these types of classes do not require physical presence, students who are busy working and raising a family can still finish their degrees while keeping a job. Those who work outside their homes will appreciate this convenience since they don’t need to go to an actual campus to complete their degrees. It gives them a chance to spend more quality time with their family, as well as have more free time to pursue other goals and passions. A benefit like this may make those who already have jobs a bit more open to the idea of an accelerated program. Fourth, accelerated online learning promotes increased job security in the workplace. In today’s economy, there is a growing demand for qualified people to fill available positions. By investing in accelerated online learning, you can enjoy a variety of benefits, including competitive pay, more job security, increased productivity, and career advancement opportunities.
