Online Learning
Tuesday, June 20, 2006First day on the job here at Hunter, and I’ve encountered my first question!
A student had failed a course during the school year, and wanted to take an online course during the summer. After some googling, we came up with an impressive list of online resources and sites. After filtering through available sites, we found James Madison Online. It looks like the best possible site for our particular needs.
- cheap, at $195.00 per course
- accredited
- completely web-based
- certified teachers cover the course
- online grading and instant results
I suggested she first grab a detailed syllabus and clear the course with the guidance department, but it looks like a good match.
Incidentally, I stumbled across MIT’s open courseware project. Remarkable resource, but not technically “online learning”. I also found Stanford University’s podcasting page.
Anyone out there know of other great online courses?
