Is anyone familiar with the University of Phoenix Online....
They currently have an enrollment special out and I'm having to fill
out a lot of
paper work which is going back and forth, and sometimes the same forms

I'm interested in writing fiction, and have some pretty good ideas; but
my writing seems so unpolished that I know I need education and practice.Try http://www.ed2go.com/ - my screenwriting course is there (also via

online learning java for web usage
I'm adept at Cold Fusion and not too bad at PHP, and these are both non
OOP. I'd like to learn Java as an alternative to these two languages, and
I'm having trouble finding where to start. Are there any resources that
teach the Java needed for scripting vs full fledged stand alone
applications?
Also, can someone tell me some benefits of java vs. other languages for
simple things? If I just needed a form processor or some scripting to
drop info in a database, is one language really th...
Creation of web-based learning sites
my project is to set up a web-based learning site for students. This should include:
- some technical graphs which should be annimated (like if a student changes some figures, the graph shall move)
- other annimations
- texts with hyperlinks
- progress tracking but they should still be able to navigate on their own
- the possibility for a chat forum (or some sort of exchange - no real time required)
- all this should be made available to students on the web without having them to download ...
Club Officers Education and Training workshops
With the advent of the new online submissions the need to submit
paperwork via snailmail no longer exists. Can anyone please clarify if
the Training and Education workshops guide/programs for club officers
given by TI reflect any of these new procedures.
If not what are these differences in roles for the various club
officers from the pre-online version?haven't seen any of the most current club officer training materials
from TI, so I can't comment on what is in them.

Does online teaching work ?
I am currently around the 2k - 1k level and i feel i need a strong
player for explaining things to me and playing a good style if i want
to get to the next level. "Just" playing games and reading books - i
feel there is something lacking, at least it might be of great value
to have someone to occasionally put me on the right track.
I really wonder about this:
Can you reach say 2-3 dan level on your own without a teacher to guide
you ? How much is a teacher needed in the process of gett...
Online Faculty/Teaching Positions
Does anyone know where to find Online Faculty/Teaching positions?This is not easy but by networking it can be done. Also find colleges
offering online degree programs and search their page. They generally
have a staff page or HRM page where they have a link to see what jobs
are available and sometimes an online form to apply. Keep applying
until you find something. Generally an MS is needed and PhD preferred.
Good luck. Adjunct Advocate is a journal for adjunct faculty and has

What does online teaching pay?
How much does an adjunct usually earn teaching an online course? Just by
way of example, a good friend of mine teaches philosphy and humanities at
the local community college, and earns roughly $1500 per course (or about
$500 a credit hour). That doesn't strike me a whole lot of money. Does DL
pay adjunct more than this?Starting pay for adjunct instructors (or "facilitators," as some schools
call them) can be anywhere from $800 for a 5-week class to $1500 for a
4-week class. BUT, the n...
Online Teacher Training

Science Education question

Real Estate Schools
I am interested in practicing real estate in Minnesota, and was wondering if
anyone knows of a correspondence school that teaches real estate.There are many.
You should first check with the licensing requirements in your state. The state
may also have a list of approved schools.
If you have no luck there, visit a local RE office. Every agent probably gets
bombarded with junk mail from the schools trying to drum up continuing ed
business.
If all else fails, a web search might help......
any comment about Online real estate education?
I've been trying various online real estate schools for Washington
state and wonder if anyone has suggestions. There's trainagents.com,
rockwell.com, and a host of others that offer all the same stuff.
Rockwell seems pretty slick, but trainagents does it all online and is
really fast, and everything seems on the up and up as far as
certificates go.
Anyone have any comments about online real estate education?I'm in Spokane, and I took mine trough Rockwell Institute.

online nursing education?
I'll be graduating shortly with a BS degree in electrical and computer
engineering. I'm trying to get into nursing.
However, I noticed that the University of Phoenix is offering a BSN
online. I'm often wary of online education, as some people don't fully
acknowledge.
Then again, Phoenix is a major, accredited school, unlike some of
those for-profit online institutions.
Also, my ultimate goal is to get into nurse anesthesia, as quickly and
cheaply as possible.
Any feedback on Phoenix's p...
Online Pre-Med/ Graduate medical school
check out www.medicalschoolonline.com
they offer Pre-Med/ Graduate degrees for students who want to go to medical
school. what do you think ?Interesting idea. Especially since a lot of pre-clinical medical education
(in the hard sciences, anyway) requires a lot of self-motivated, independent
studying outside of the classroom...
But here's the kicker:
"Since the ACMS has begun granting graduate degrees, we have been pursuing
the standards necessary to be accredited by the U.S. Depart...

Best online Masters degree in E-Learning
I have completed a Graduate Certificate in Facilitating and Managing
E-Learning and would like to complete a Masters Degree in E-Learning. Which
university offers the best program? I had heard that Southern Queensland or
Charles Sturt are good, but then read some of the forum posts on this (where
I can't remember, but subscribers to this list like Peter French, et al
posted) which suggested that this might not be so.I am about to go for my Ph.D. in Educational Technology, but I have also

Masters Degree in Education
Are there Regionally Accredited Colleges/Universities that offer
Masters Degrees in Education that accept graduate level work similar
to Regents and Thomas Edison?If you literally mean a regionally accredited master's in education, not
that I know of.
But there is a program that comes close which may be of interest to you.
That's Western Governors University's new master of arts program in

apparently will be conducted ...

Need recommendations on Instructional Technology Master's Program
I'm looking for recommendations on online
Instructional Technology master's programs. My preference is to find a
program that offers an MS and most of their program can be taken online. I
have a strong technical and design background in web development and video
production so I'm looking for more education and instruction emphasis than
technology. Many of the programs I've been reading about are geared toward
educators who want to learn to use technology in their classrooms.Masters Degr...
Idea for a new online masters
I would like to help establish a new, online master's degree in education,
concentrating on the integration of Mathematics Education, Science
Education, and Technology Education. It would be aimed at individuals who
have a bachelor's degree in any of these subjects, and who are certified
teachers. It would allow the student to concentrate somewhat in their area,
but also to examine in depth the integration of these three disciplines.
Professional education coursework may well be added to t...

law school admissions
I recently graduated from college and wish to attend law school. My
biggest concern is my GPA. It's not a 4.0. From what I can tell law
schools are simply looking for the best with little regard for those who
are less than the best. I haven't taken the LSAT yet for fear I may not
get accepted into a school of my choice; not an Ivy League of course. My
grade point is decent just not perfect. What are my chances of getting
accepted? How can I better my chances? Or am I wasting my tim...

High School Course Catalogs
We are thinking about putting our high school course catalog online.

high school catalogs. CourseCat com is a professional service who does
this, but I'm looking for some examples of high schools who currently

Online Graduate School in philosply

so where is it offered? I have a full time job as an actuary so I
cant go to school during the daytime. Unfortunately my local

degrees are Physics and Math so I have no real training in philosophy.

Did you fund it yourself, use student loans, scholarships, federal aid, or
something else? I have already contacted the USDE and they have provided me
