I took Humanities 105 on line...big mistake.  I missed all the great interaction with the other students and professor.\n\nWe had so many debates from gay to minimum wages, and our precept ions of ourselves.\n\nI love the classroom.  Will not take another on line course again.

In my opinion, online education is only suitable for those who are very self-disciplined. It is very easy to fall-behind and then eventually become swamped, where there is no return.

Just about every course that is offered online should work for you. It really depends on what classes you need to take (if you are working toward a degree) or want to take (if you are taking classes just because you enjoy learning). \n\nIt can be a bit difficult taking a foreign language class online, I imagine! I have also had a hard time with my Statistics class online. I just had a hard time getting what the textbook meant. A tutor would have been helpful, but my tutor hasn't really been available (it is a friend of mine). \n\nIt is really hard to narrow it down to specific courses, when really it depends on the way each course is structured, and how the teacher teaches it. Some teachers will have the whole semester planned out and you can access everything at once. This is great for me so that I can plan my time and try to plan my life a bit over the semester. Some will only open parts of the course at a time, so that they can update their material to match the current discussions going on in class and possibly reflect current events going on in the world. This was harder for me because I had several books to carry around and I had no way to project how much work I would be doing from week to week. \n\nSome classes have some visual information built in -- with slides and such. (love this!) Some colleges have "writing centers" or other virtual tutorial centers -- and I like the idea of this!!! Some colleges require a lot of group work -- which is not my favorite due to trying to follow peoples schedules and who knows if they will actually contribute or not. Some colleges have quicker paces than others as well. That is something to consider. \n\nI picked Empire State College in the end. I had a friend that went to Pheonix, and the fast pace was too much and a ot of group work. Things I already knew I didn't want. \n\nSo really, it depends...

"Online" means virtual. Why do you care where the course matter originates?

I can answer this one - Intro courses are good especially ones that require comprehension sort of like Intro to sociology or psychology or even management.\n\nAnything that has to do either with your major or that you are not strong in (like some people who have math disabilities) should do the traditional classroom.  \n\nAgain anything where you either have to memorize definitions or have to read a paragraph & comprehend the idea or theory behind it - that would be the class(es) to take online.

You can learn just about any subject at very very low cost at UniversalClass.com.  There are hundreds (if not thousands)experts in a field teaching affordable online courses at UniversalClass.com; so not only will you be surprised about how many courses they offer, but how easy it is to join. Also, Universalclass.com allows experts, specialists, or hobbyists (any subject - but you should know it!) teach others what they know and earn a few bucks. Those who set up their classes also set their own price for a course! UniversalClass.com gets a small "cut" but most goes to the instructor/author of a course.\n\nGreat program. Works for everybody: online students and online mentors. Win-win.

Online colleges are worth it. There are thousands of people are going online. You just have to make sure the college is legit. I was going through Kaplan which is a good one. But like you I am looking at PCDI and it is on the governments accredited list. If you are older or have kids and a job, people look at you also going to school online as a good thing. It looks good for you.

depends on what course you want to take up, although even if you do enroll online, i guess people would suggest that you enroll to a computer school if its a major course, all courses that are offered online are minor and for added information, you can always search and learn on your own. you can go to learndell.com which will give you options on what you want to learn about, mostly courses that are offered are mainly for software like, excell, word, access, programming c:/, .net, servers and all that. mostly what they have there are just gists of information. in short you would still need to search and even enroll in a real school to learn the major stuff. what i can say though is that, you can always find ways to learn on your own, and experience and self study will always be your best teacher.

Colleges teach some foreign languages. You would have more variety in checking out on line courses. Just type in your web browser --on line foreign language course--, and go from there. Some are free, but most have a charge.

Mediocre. I feel that online schools take away  from the experience of being in a live college environment. Although the at home convenience may be helpful and beneficial to others, i think that everyone should participate from a college campus. However i believe the education offered is the same. Also i do believe that you learning may be easier when in the classroom setting.

that is really an open question.  are you trying to find online classes that are from an accredited college?  or, are you trying to find online classes that teach different trades?

I am currently taking online courses and I think that the program is absolutely wonderful.  I am obtaining my Bachelor's degree in Science/Criminal Justice and I feel as though completing online courses are much better than going to an actual campus.  There are ways that you can find out by searching online...you can use these keywords:  "online education"  OR  "online degree programs".

its a good concept because it focuses more on the learner. the teacher is able to do more guiding than direct teaching. the learner is also able to get more actively involved in what is going on either through experiments, group learning, etc..it provides better understanding for the learner and its probably a lot less boring for them than standard lecture.

Online education is a kind of distance learning.you should study lessons at home yourself because there are not any class to attend.but you would have a tutor that you can ask him or her your questions. they guide you in this way .there is a course administer who can solve your technical problems.you should do a large amount of assignments and respond to your classmates' opinins.in my opinion it is fine for minor subjects.Online education is a good experience that you can try it once.\ngood luck
