Being on vacation does not mean I am not keeping up with the trends in distance education. In fact, I found an article that made me quite angry. “Case of the purloined term paper” from USA Today touches on something that can be a black mark on distance education. People who buy term papers from the Internet are ...

Today was a great day! The intentions after breakfast were simply to drive around and see what kind of trouble we could stir up. We ended up driving up the base of Mount Rainier, one of the tallest mountains in the USA. We got up to 3,400 feet before roadblocks stopped us. Foot traffic is allowed beyond that point, so we ...

I have finally made it to Seattle. I am kind of glad I dropped out of Walden, which was the original purpose for this trip. I am not sure how much fun I would have been able to experience had I been tied down with academic work. My plane left Austin at 6:30am. I arrived in Seattle at 10:30am (west coast time). My ...

As of this writing, I am packing my bags for a 5-day vacation to Seattle. Why do this in November, you ask? Well, back in August when I was enrolled in the DBA program at Walden University, I was scheduled to attend a residency in Seattle this week. I purposely added a couple of days to the trip so that I could see a few ...

My name is David. I enjoyed reading your comparison between Walden and Capella and I have found myself in the same dilemma. I have also begun the move towards the DBA program at Walden. Would you have some time to tell me how your experience has been to date? Have you found Walden to be a good decision? Quite frankly, ...

This is my first post as a student in the on-line M.A. in Organizational Leadership program at Gonzaga University. I am very glad to be back in the fold after my short stint at Walden University. Gonzaga University has been ranked one of the top universities in the West for 16 years by U.S. News and World Report. In addition, the ...

Scott,
I wrote to you a few times last spring/summer if you recall. Since I've least written, I have graduated from Kaplan with a BS in paralegal studies. I can't find a job, so I'm considering doing a BS in accounting from Southern New Hampshire, and then possibly a MS in accounting from the University of Connecticut. My ...

I did read your blog and the experiences you wrote about regarding Kaplan University. I wanted to share with you that I am just starting out with my education in IT (Web Development). However, I wanted to ask you how your overall experience with Kaplan was. Was it worth it? How the rest of the world and employers receive you with ...

My short tenure at Walden University in the Doctor of Business Administration program has almost come to an end. I have submitted the form that withdrawals me from the program. I have spent the last several weeks pondering this decision and I think that I have made the right decision for me.
Walden seems like a great ...

Today may be a turning point in my educational journey.
I spent most of the day yesterday contemplating my educational future. I firmly believe that I am not done with my education, but I am beginning to rethink my decision to pursue a doctorate degree. I am not sure what advantages it will have in the long ...

We’ve read numerous times about how distance learning has helped students all over the world achieve their dreams. But what happens if you are an instructor who is deployed overseas? Well, if you are Cheryl J. Wachenheim, you make it work. This online instructor from North Dakota was deployed to Iraq and ...

We start week 6 in Business Strategy and Innovation today. I feel that I have completely lost focus on this whole doctoral studies thing. I slogged my way through week 5 with no real interest to speak of. I have unwittingly abandoned any structure and time management. As a result, my average in this class has dropped to 89% ...

Dear Scott,
I am very grateful for the article you wrote about Northeastern's online MBA at:
http://community.elearners.com/blogs/kaplan_management_degree/archive/2007/06/23/Northeastern-University-_2E002E002E00_-Not-For-Me.aspx
As a busy working mother, I am searching for the most viable, valuable online MBA ...

I do not like to get into politics very much on this blog or anywhere else. At the end of the day, it serves no real purpose and provides nothing more than an agreement to disagree, at best. But as it relates to education, I cannot pass this one up.
But veterans are now receiving “emergency payments” ...

We are currently in the middle of week 4 in Business Strategy and innovation.
As this class moves forward, we are becoming aware of systems and their ability to find and make order out of chaos. I am recalling times when I witnessed some of these things first-hand in my professional career. In a world in which change and chaos ...

We have written a lot about the benefits of distance education. But something that might get overlooked more often than not is the doors that are opened for people who may have otherwise not been able to fulfill their dreams of earning an advanced degree. People who have a family and a job are the most visible out of the ...

You might remember a while back when I posted a link to a poll about online MBA programs. Well, the story that came out of that poll has arrived.
“What’s an Online MBA Worth?” can be found at BNET.com
The poll for the article was highly favorable to on-line MBA programs. The story hits some important ...

What does the future hold for our libraries? As everything becomes available online in one form or another, the role of the library as we know it is changing. Will the library become obsolete? I think so! It will not happen for many, many years, but we are certainly leaning in that direction. Here is a great article ...

Plowing through another week, we’re talking about “Strategic Intent”. Today marks the start of week three. Our focus is on aligning strategic models with business challenges to create innovative and sustainable solutions. This requires a depth of knowledge in traditional strategic models. At the same time, ...

I thought about quitting this week. But alas, I keep plowing forward. Up until this morning, I seemed to have lost my energy and desire to do this anymore. Do I really care one bit about business innovation and sustainability? Do I care to write one more paper analyzing my experiences and how they relate to other ...

As you probably know, I am in a Business Strategy class right now. This is a perfect time to share an article with you that outlines strategy and how it relates to education.
The article is called, College for $99 a Month. The subheading could not be truer. “The next generation of online education could ...

Today marks the beginning of week two in Business Strategy and Innovation. My motivation level seems to be picking up a bit. Perhaps my brain simply turned to jelly after not being challenged for such a long period of time. Who knows? I took the weekend off and made a short road trip to my mother’s house in ...

It’s the day after all of the 9/11 memorials on TV and around the country. Just when I think I am over all of that (to the extent a person who was not directly involved can be “over it”) I see these shows that detail the operations that culminated with the planes crashing into the WTC and Pentagon. Then I get ...

I am getting rusty. Frankly, I am getting pretty bored as well. If you count the time between the end of my last class at Norwich University and now, it is a little over three months. Discounting the introductory/orientation class I had at Walden, one could argue that my mind has not been challenged in over three ...

I almost wanted to throw up yesterday. Yeah, it sounds like “too much information”. But I was so angry and miffed that nausea was the default response to what happened to me. Here is the short version of what happened.
Last week, a very nice recruiter contacted me and did a 30-minute phone screen for a really good ...
