The Human Touch 3The Human Touch 3

Need some people skills? The following courses are being offered this spring by Oakton Community College in Des Plaines, Ill.:

Conflict Resolution Interpersonal Skills for Managers Learning to Supervise Motivate Your Employees Overcome Communication Barriers

The twist is that these are classes offered online, which means you learn on your computer, over the Internet, at home, alone.

Our favorite offering:
Project Management & The Human Element.

A call was placed to Oakton, asking how the school balances this apparent contradiction of learning human-interaction skills alone with a PC. After a moment away from the phone, the office worker said she didn't know and that--we're not making this up--it would be best to consult the Web site for help.
