Online Learning Resources

This blog is intended to keep you up-to-date on all the new educational resources on the web. It includes information on online colleges, informal classes, and educational tools and techniques. I'm convinced that the web will help us learn better with a lot less cost.

Legitimate Online Schools

My local news station did a story about online degrees. One person interviewed was taking online classes through DeVry University. He was being charged about $450 per course. Another person interviewed was taking his online program through the University of Phoenix.

If you're going to pay $450 per course, you want to make sure the school is accredited. This will ensure the faculty has the necessary degrees, the school has the proper resources and is financially stable.

The Texas Commission on Higher Education has a website where you can search to see if an online distance education program is accredited by reliable organizations.
