E-learning special - US News and World Report
Filed in archive Finding the right university by mstandaert on October 20, 2004
U.S. News and World Report has a nice new special out about online learning. Including an A to Z directory of traditional and virtual schools offering online education.
Here is an article on the blurring line between traditional and online universities.
The mechanical engineering students in Jan Helge Bohn's class at Virginia Tech regularly huddle with teammates at the Technische Universitat in Darmstadt, Germany, using synchronized computers, shared databases, and videoconferencing to brainstorm design concepts for the Opel Signum hatchback. Gifted sixth graders in Chicago can log into Illinois Virtual High School for algebra lessons. And busy professionals in all kinds of fields are rushing online to add
credentials-outside of regular business hours and often from the road. E-learning "is a good fit for me," says Sarah Fisher, 23, a driver on the IndyCar racing circuit who's getting her bachelor's in marketing via the Web at Ellis College in New York. "I was able to take a break for the Indianapolis 500."
