Online Distance Learning Courses

To make my own schedule, I think that's the best part for me. It's one winning point for me as to taking these classes. I feel like it's also the safest way to be my own boss without investing too terribly much money into it. I realize I'll need specific tools to help me along the way, but it's not like finding a business location, etc, etc. Medical careers are always in demand, which is REALLY good. I honestly didn't realize that you could do distance learning other then in HS. I had a friend who took a distance learning class while in HS because she had so many other classes as well. So technically she had 8 classes instead of the 7 regular ones.

Yeah the local community college offers some online classes for free and it's great. However I've been told by a friend who took an english class via the college online last year as part of her studies, that it's not easy and not fun. The courses I am looking into will send me the text books via the mail and I study them. I may have to take the exam online but it's open book, or one place will mail me out the exam.. much easier as this computer is locked down pretty tight and I don't own it so have no say in it.

Many colleges offer distance learning. Some have class lectures available online for free.

This is actually materials being mailed to you. They even mail you the exam, though you can do it online and it gets graded right away that way. I think it would be really good for me, I don't really have the money to shell out for regular college classes, and I don't have the transportation right now either. After I get done with this, I may go on to do more in the medical section there. My sister wants to go back to school herself but doesn't have the money, I told her about this but she's probably not going to do it...

I am pretty certain i wil enjoy it, im already happy. I know studying will be a different thing but its my pace ya know.

It's tough to pay for classes and it sounds like a good option for sure. I hope it works out and you enjoy it.

The Local CC's here are pretty great, but I just can't afford the commute etc to the school's right now. I dont' see anything wrong with studying via distance learning either as it still expands my knowledge and gives me credentials. I plan to take more courses as I learn and maybe eventually I go into a community college, but I much prefer distance learning, at my own place for right now. What school are you enrolled in for the undergrad degree?

The schools I am looking at are accredited, but designed to take payments. They are distance learning career courses, so not from a local community college or college at all. Though to answer your question? I probably could qualify for financial aid. I need a course that I don't have to have the computer for at all as this computer isn't made to support everything. I rememeber you telling me once before that you were in school for a graduate program. I just love that so much like that can be done online or distance learning, it's great.

I bet they really enjoy teaching via the internet, it seems as if that kind of work isn't too demanding. They probably make out the itinerary and just follow it each year, and answer emails etc, again really on their own schedules.

the online schools I've looked at have teachers aide courses and one other but none that specifically says for homeschooling. It would be great for you if you could find a school that would help you with that. I had a cousin who had to be homeschooled for a few years as she was always sick, but she had a teacher come by.
