DISTANCE AND
ONLINE EDUCATION INFORMATION
Millions of college students take courses and even get entire
degrees via the Internet. The quality of on-line courses is in
most cases equal to, if not superior to regular classroom
courses. With the costs of transportation such as gasoline,
insurance, parking, and maintenance going up, plus the time it
takes to drive to campus. it's no wonder on-line learning is
more popular than ever. It really is in your interests to find
out more to see if these kinds of courses fit your needs.
As
with any important decision, before entering into any online
education contract, always be sure to check the
institution for accreditation, all application and matriculation
fees, and also be sure to get a list of the faculty and their
qualifications. What follows is some information and help in making a decision. I
have designed and taught online courses at both the undergraduate and
graduate levels, and I believe that the learning experiences in
these courses were at least equal to, if not superior to those
of regular classroom courses. To assist you, I have devised a scale
(DEARS) that helps determine whether
you have the
aptitude to benefit from online courses. Please

Education for Teachers – Advance Your Career
Career teachers require a combination of qualifications, experience and
continuing education. In addition to a formal qualification, good teaching
requires commitment to the ongoing acquisition of skills and learning. Further,
promotion, career advancement, and salary are often linked to postgraduate
qualifications, such as Continuing
Education Credits or
a
master’s degree in Education. However, for most teachers the demands of a
full academic timetable leave little time and energy for professional
development.
Teach Yourself
Many people see online study as an isolating experience but, in fact,
successful online classes develop a sense of community, with email
communication, shared lesson plans, discussion forums and real-time interaction
in some situations. The variety of online programs is growing exponentially;
giving a range of study that is the equivalent of courses available on-campus.
An online format allows teachers to take advantage of uncommitted time in their
schedules and gives access to courses that could not be attended physically
because of geographical and teaching constraints. The right course can
complement the ongoing teaching syllabus, giving an immediate boost to students.

Study
Requirements for On-Line Courses
Prospective students must have access to an up to date, though not necessarily
state of the art PC with Internet capability. A familiarity with the Internet
and email will help, but is not a prerequisite. In fact, an increased awareness
and knowledge of the broader implications of information technology will be a
useful byproduct of completing an online program. Time is required for checking
emails, studying course materials and completing assignments. Benefits of an
Online Education
An online qualification might be useful for the individual to
progress his or her career, but it can have a positive result for more than the
participant. Employers also benefit from the in-house expertise in web research and
teaching techniques using online technologies, and access to the wider academic
community. Anyone who seeks a challenging and useful learning experience need
look no further than a computer with Internet access to get it all.
