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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

It’s almost 3PM and I’ve spent almost all day either on the phone, answering email, filling out online forms or instant messaging coworkers, contacts, supervisors, project managers, etc. I have spent my entire day coordinating over a dozen different teams to work towards one objective on a million dollar project that will be ...

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 ...

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 ...

Far be it from me to ever encourage anyone to forgo getting an education, as it is probably one of the most worthwhile things a human being could ever do. That being said there are times in life when “dropping out” or dropping a course or quitting a particular program is the right call. For example in my own academic career ...

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 ...

Some of us are at home right now, scratching our heads at what should we do with our lives....if you have been laid off or on the brink of it, or you just have an uncertainty about your existing position, there's never been a better time to start thinking about your professional future. I browsed across the web and I saw USNEWS.com ...

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 ...

Recently I was sitting in a class regarding process improvements, statistical analysis, etc. Six Sigma type stuff related to my job. Yes this was a workplace required class and no, it wasn’t terribly fun but fortunately statistics I did during my MBA prepared me well for this sort of thing. Anyhow I digress. During this ...

This week I wanted to talk about technology and suggest some products that you can use to make your online education experience more rewarding. Yesterday I wrote about online storage and suggested the two services that I personally use to back up my data, Zumodrive (http://www.zumodrive.com) and Dropbox ...

Nobody likes technology more than I do. One of the first assignments in our Foundations of Doctoral Study class was to analyze technology in on-line education. One of the most critical topics that we covered was data integrity and the tools to keep your work safe. With that thought in mind, I wanted to do a write-up ...

Today I decided to try something new, taking the train and bus to work. I’ve never really done it before but thought “hey, if I can work on the train at least that’s a productive use of my transit time as opposed to simply sitting in traffic focusing on driving all the way home". They’re kind of pushing the ...

My wife sent me a really great article from the NY Times which points out some really great things about the current and future state of on-line learning. The article can be found at http://bit.ly/8yZV3 and one of the most important paragraphs in the article in my opinion is:
“The biggest near-term growth, Mr. Regier ...

There has been a lot of good discussion lately about online degrees. I found one at BNET.com. For those not familiar with the site, it is a business related site that caters to management-types like me. The site is gearing up for a big article on on-line MBA’s and is taking a poll. You can see it here: ...

So I’ve been asked if your GPA matters to employers or not. Well, this is kind of a “yes” and “no” type of question. Yes in that an employer will often ask if you received any honors in school, etc. or at least make note of any that may be listed on a resume. In some government jobs your GPA will be ...

This is week 10 of my Business Telecommunications course at Bellevue University. This marks the final week and I’m through, officially 1/12 (8.3%) complete towards my MS degree. I know it doesn’t sound like much but finishing the 1st course is a huge milestone in earning a degree. In fact it is the single biggest ...

I have come across a great podcast this week having to do with the future of education. The title of the podcast is called “Re-imagining Higher Ed” and you do not have to have an iPod to listen in. [LINK HERE]
In a recent speech at a community college in Michigan, Barack Obama said he wants this country to be number one in ...

Things at work are starting to get nuts. I’ve been assigned two big conferences to host, one in September and one in October, the October one due to end just 1 day before my wife is due with our first baby. That plus school work and don’t forget, when not hosting conferences I have my regular duties and I’m on a ...

Our instructor for our Business Telecommunications class recently remarked about how a culmination of the various graduate group projects may be used to help a small town in Oregon solve a high speed internet availability problem. See this town started off to offer high speed internet in their community in the hopes that it will drive ...

Today I briefly spoke with a woman who works in my building whose department is being closed sometime this year. Everyone at the company is either moving to another department within the company or they are going to be laid off. The deciding factor on whether or not these people keep their jobs? Diversity of skill. If they ...
