One of the biggest fears of students new to online learning (and the biggest fear of some employers) is whether or not an online college can be 'trusted.'

Could it be a diploma mill? What if the institution isn't accredited, and all that hard work and money is wasted? Never fear; GetEducated.com has a nifty little tool for making sure your online college is up to snuff. The Diploma Mill Police, found here, will let you know all the facts, after you enter some brief information. The Get Educated site has all sort of nifty information, including 'Top 10' lists of online degree programs, so after you're done playing detective, be sure to check out the rest of the site.
