Three Steps to Evaluating Distance Learning Programs

Posted by in Uncategorized Oct 18th, 2007

Many online schools make big claims. But, how can you tell the difference between a reputable program and a dud? kristin Hirst's article on DegreeInfo.com suggests three steps to evaluating online programs. Here's a blurb:

"Nearly every school which offers courses and degree programs through distance learning has a Web site. Some are slick, some are shabby. How can you get past the appearance to find out whether the school is worth your time and money?

When you find a school online, start your evaluation with these factors:

* Accreditation
* Administration and faculty
* Student service"

I've spoken with some students who love their online programs and some who feel online learning has been a waste of time and money. Choosing the right school can make all the difference.
