Online schooling

Hi, I had never been in online schooling, but few my friends had been passed the IBM tests and through online and has a better IT jobs. They had done a study on the past online test attended students and also analyzed it. Hope online schooling is better as in developing world as time as be managed accordingly and also it is dedication one puts gives the out come in that.

I have no personal experience in Distance Learning but it is something I am exploring for getting a second degree after I graduate and possibly as a method of getting my Masters. I hear that it is a very good method for people who are interested in studying overseas but have obligations they have to meet at their own countries or jobs or families and the like. Personally, I think this will become an increasingly popular method of learning and getting certification as the world becomes more connected via the internet. However, it is a good idea to check how long the University has been offering Distance Learning and possibly tracking a few students who have used their services and find out their opinions on the matter. I think after I have enough saved up I will look into Distance Learning with England or Australian Universities since I want to get degrees from there. They reflect better in Asia for some reason. *shrugs*

I took most of my classes on-line for my Bachelors degree in accounting. Our college has a great on-line program. I chose to go on-line because at the time I had 2 teenage boys that still needed my attention and I worked full-time. This way I could be home for them and attend their functions and study around their schedules. I did most of my "homework" while they did theirs or after they had settled down for the night. It did make for some long nights for me, but it was worht it to be there for my kids. For studying - try to make a schedule for when you will be studying, and stick to it. Since you already know your families schedules, that's not too hard to do. The hardest part is if you get behind, it's hard to get back up to speed. Some people don't do well with self-study (which is mostly what on-line is) so you have to get used to figuring things out by yourself. Best of Luck to you!!

Hello, I am currently attending American International University Online, and I think it's just GREAT! The deciding factor for me to go there was the student advisor that was assigned to me. We spoke on the phone a few times before I signed up and he motivated me to get back in school and achieve my goals! The convenience of online school was another factor because I do not have any kind of set work schedule and needed the flexibility to 'go to class' whenever! I am very impressed with AIU and I would recommend them to anyone. The classes are accelerated and I will be graduating only 7 months after I started back!! Their student website is laid out where it makes sense and is EASY to use, and they have all kind of people available 24 hours to help you with anything you may need. They're all supportive of you and work with you to make sure you succeed. For an online school, you really get the sense of community!! I love it! I will graduate in April '08 with an AA Business Admin! :-)

I tried the whole online college thing a while back, because I have 2 kids at home and I thought it would be a little easier to do it that way than to find daycare, etc. I was wrong! Its really hard to do it when you dont have someone there to explain certain things to you, etc. Im sure it works out fine for some but I couldnt finish it.

I will be graduating soon and plan on continuing my studies online. I want to get my Master's but am tired of driving 30 minutes to the college. I think I may need a break for starters, but online will be different. I am online all the time anyway. Might as well get something from it. LOL
