Online College Degrees

[RedNBlondies]

I've looked into teaching at some online schools. I did some research on them and have spoken to other instructors.

I found that there are huge differences in schools that are exclusively online and existing "brick and mortar" schools that have online programs.

The online universities seems to sell their degrees. Students pay a lot of money, and the instructors are highly motivated to make sure that students make good grades. Instructors are not hired back if the grades of the students are too low!!

The programs offered by traditional colleges and universities seem to offer quality programs and degrees.

Good luck finding a school and a program.

I have taken some online courses for my current degree program. They were the support classes, not the critical classes for my program. I have taken them through 2 different community colleges. At the first one, it was great, it was self paced and very well put together. At the second school, the courses were not self paced and were not as well put together. When I start my Master's degree, there are 2 colleges that offer the program. One is in class and would require my to move which I am not prepared to do. The other is completely online. They have said I might have to go to the campus maybe once a semester. I am all for that.
