dude i totally agree

why do it online inforunt of a computer when you can do it for real at tafe

hi
I have done online education. One of my three Master's degrees was completed online. Honestly, I believe the online Master's was harder than my other two.
isemi-retired. While I never worked for a fortune 500 company, people I worked with five years ago didn't hold University of Phoenix in high regard.
There may be companies that reimburse employees for University of Phoenix degrees, however, there are some that won't. Intel Corp. is one big company that will not reimburse employees for a business degree from University of Phoenix.
Yes, I have a problem with the cost. Why pay University of Phoenix, Capella, or Kaplan or any other for-profit school tuition if you can get the same degree online from a state school for 1/2 the cost?
Accreditation does matter. However, there are several different levels of accreditation. There is regional accreditation which is what the typical state schools and most of the for-profits have. There is also specialized programmatic accreditations that are over and above regional accreditation. Some examples of these are AACSB for business, ABET for Technology and Engineering, APA for psychology programs etc. For-profit, online schools usually won't have these types of accreditations. Many state schools will have these accreditations.

Good luck,

Online may be more difficult because it is totally independent and you can't really interact with the 'teacher'. It is a good way to develop your independent studying and most material are of quite a high quality. I learned CSS, (X)HTML and Javascript on the internet and now I am just being bored in class because I already knew all of the course...

Isn't it important to network? I mean, isn't that the reason for going to say, Harvard, Yale, or Stanford? The connections? After all, if classroom instruction is all there is to college, college is on its way out for sure. The interaction and networking is what people are paying those high-*bottom* prices for. Otherwise it makes no sense to go.

I think that online education is such a great advance for rural or less populated areas, where you have to make real trips to get to a school. And for people with some kind of physical handicaps that can't move easily. For the rest I think gatehering in a school is more healthy, because you develop social skills that sooner or later you'll need in life.

Anyway I think a combination of both should be the future. For example in a week you could go one day to the school, speak with your teachers, etc. and the rest of the days at home with your computer, exercises by email, etc. I think this could also be a great formula for online work, you just go periodically to your work place just to keep the relationship and see everything it's ok and then work from home.

Online education helps,but I am both in favour of it and in against of it.

If I talk in favour of online education then I would say that it may be a good idea for future and I think many online educating companies or organisation provides good and animated tutorials for learning,and these improves 3D imagination and has lot more positive aspects.Also if someone lives in some remote area where there are no good teachers available or where there is no good teaching then online education can be good in those cases I think.Online education also saves a lot of time as there is no need to go to tuitions or even if online education is taken more seriously then there is no need to go to schools also.Nowadays I see and I myself experience then a lot of time is wasted in going to schools and tuitiond for studying and thus there is less time for self studies,so in these case online education can be important for me.

But If I talk in against of online education,which I could also have tried a long back,I think that taking education is good in many aspects but its one of the greatest negative aspects is that it hampers the growth of a child in terms of interactions and also affects the social life because if one goes to schools then there are lot of friends around and thus there is a healthy social circle.Taking education has got another negative impact on the child that he/she remains in home for a long time and thus these may affect him/her mentally

So I think that online education should be taken only if it is not possible to go to schools to one reason or the other.But it should be avoided when there are good schools around.

i havent tried taking a class online but i did try to do SAT prep and i think it was a failure because i got distracted so easily because i was at my house and it was so boring so i did not get a lot out of it, that's why now i'm taking a class now. but most people the main reason they take online classes is beacause it's easy but i think it's boring and unhelpfull but that's just my opinion.

Anythings better than getting up at 7 every morning lol... it depends what your learning online.. languages it's better to do with people unlike computing which is better from home

Assuming we are talking about accredited online education, here is my opinion.

I think online education is only for the strong-willed. Because most aspects about it are virtual, it becomes difficult to force yourself to do the material. If the course is designed to go at whatever pace you are comfortable at, it could take you a long time to finish.

In many classroom courses, one of the requirements for a grade is to do a presentation. It's very hard to have this requirement for online courses, which may be a good thing if you're afraid of public speaking. It seems that online courses are tougher, because you really have to prove that you know the material. In a classroom, you are sitting there for a few hours each week absorbing knowledge. In a classroom setting, you may discuss the assigned reading in a group discussion, but online, you may have to write a written response to it. Online classes seem to have much more writing assignments.
