Recent Power Outage Forces Online Students to Relocate. OLT’s online insurance pre-licensing students never visit OLT’s corporate headquarters, that is until now. When a recent area wide power outage hit Lake Worth, Florida, their instructor and author of the 2-15 Life, Health, and Annuities online pre-licensing course had a problem. Notified just 15 minutes before the start of the Class, Jack decided to go to the campus to let the students know what happened. When he got there he discovered six students, some had traveled a long distance and another two were going to be out of Florida for the next few weeks and would not be available for a make-up class for more then a month, were anxious to have a class. Jack had a problem. Where could he find a lighted classroom on such short notice?

Well, you know, that is what instructors do. They solve problems for students in an effort to ensure their students succeed. Jack called his office on the cell phone and outlined the problem. Quickly the office reorganized some of its space into a make shift classroom. With the addition of a white board, and over head projector, and a few chairs, OLT’s front office space became Jack’s classroom for a night.
Within minutes of arriving, Jack had his students settled in and began lecturing them on the finer points of the insurance industry. His focus, Life, Health, and Annuities.
To say his students were pleased would be an understatement. They had a chance to meet Wendy, OLT’s graphic artist, Terry, the president and founder of OLT, and an opportunity to finish the review and final exams of their course on time.
Wendy, cleared the space for their books and notes. Terry made coffee and made all feel welcome. Jack began to teach, and the students smiled all the way around.
Ahhhhh … you say just another day. Hmm, Terry was pleased to have live students on the premises. And Jack’s class was pleased they were able to find a classroom available on such short notice.
