Hello,
I’m doing some research about distance learning. Can anyone
recommend any online resources, websites, blogs, mini-courses, etc. about
distance learning and earning a degree online?
Thanks!Amanda

I can hardly believe it. Here I am looking at the schedule for my next class and realize that I have only 3 courses left. Including this week which is half way over I have 19 weeks left of school and then I’m home free. I am wondering about the commencement ceremony though. It will be in mid December in Iowa. I ...

I sometimes get asked “how do you remember all of that stuff” when talking about tests I’ve taken for computer certifications such as the Comptia A+, Network+ and a bunch of stuff I’ve learned throughout earning my BS and MBA. Honestly there is no one trick or tip that works for everything but there are some that will ...

My title got you didn’t it? You’re reading this blog post thinking “can I really get my MBA quick and easy?” Sure you can. It wasn’t too many weeks ago I interviewed a guy who had a degree from a wholly unaccredited and un-wonderful university (which shall go unnamed) and he told me how quick and easy it was to get ...

I’ll admit that over the last few months I’ve been a bit frazzled beyond what is probably good for my health. Recently however I have been able to decompress quite a bit. All of the work stress is still there, in fact this week has been particularly stressful but because I am now in somewhat more familiar territory in my studies and ...

For the past 6 months I have been working on quantitative courses and not really so much on anything research or qualitative. Even though I was required to write final projects the information was largely presented in equations, formulas and numerical answers with brief to thorough explanations. There really wasn’t a whole lot of ...

“Where do you find the time?” “You must really like working a lot.” “You must be a (book worm or nerd or Einstein or driven or a workaholic or any number of assumptions people like to make about someone they barely know anything about other than they are different). These three quotes above are ...

I was reading a newspaper article this weekend about the Texas Virtual Academy, a charter school which is entirely online where kids K-12 can earn their diploma from home, or at least advance to the next grade. Upon reading this I learned that for a student to attend a brick and mortar public school costs $8,700 per student per year. ...

I read an interesting interview of an executive recruiter over the value of the MBA. I recommend you read it as well, but in a nutshell, the MBA has real value. It has the most value in investment banking, consulting work and finance but can be a cross industry asset as well. The MBA is being more sought after by being ...

This week in Managerial Finance we looked at investing. By the nature of investing there is an
element of risk. Risk is the price of
opportunity for profit. I’ve always
considered getting an education to be an investment, albeit one in which the
returns are often not readily quantifiable but an investment ...

Hello, I am currently working on obtaining my Bachelor's degree in Psychology online through the "University of Phoenix". I have completed 1 entire year with the University. Yeah!! I have 3 more years to go. The classes are 5 weeks in duration and as long as you stay on task the curriculum flows easily. You work on individual ...

I submitted my assignment and completed my discussion questions ending week 3 of Managerial Finance. I have to tell you folks, this was one of the roughest weeks I’ve experienced since beginning my MBA program. I knew there would be weeks like this and I thought I had prepared myself mentally for it before even starting the ...

For years I left my formal education aside, while continuing on with a wonderful lifelong learning process, but now I’d to complete a degree program in education. I hope I'm at the right departure point here at elearniers.com. I am in the process of collecting my college credits, assuming they add up to 60 or more. ...

I popped in tonight on the Ashford University Discussion Board all ready to spend a couple of hours answering a Discussion Question then going to bed. Well the problem is, the discussion question seems to be a series of concept questions in the book which must be answered before you have all of the pertinent information to answer the ...

Greetings!
I'm new to the site (just found it yesterday) and I'm about to start a Business (IT Management) degree program at WGU. I'm going to be digging through posts and trying to get familiar with the site, but thought I'd better say HI to all of you regulars. Hey, there isn't a WGU tag!

This is part II of a two part series. (Click to view part I.)
6.) Technology. Technology is an inevitable part of being an online student. Using new, unfamiliar software and mastering the art of using it skillfully will become essential. If you are still carrying a pager, use a rotary phone, are afraid of a fax machine and ...

Okay I know it seems strange for a guy who is all about distance education to write about the negative aspects of learning online, but for the sake of fairness sometimes it is necessary to look at the bad side of learning as well as the good. After all it is important to make a well-informed decision when considering going back to ...

Applying
to a college or university is a very lengthy process. You can take the opinion
of someone you know. It can in fact take weeks to fill in all the forms, seek
out the recommendations that you need and make sure that you have all bases
covered before you actually send it off. It can also be extremely complex, and
this is then also ...

Normally I will finish my written assignment on Saturday night after working on it for a while throughout the week. Well unfortunately, I have been a little more pressed for time than normal and I still need to submit the assignment by Monday. Given that tomorrow is the “big game” (note the term super-duper-bowl is ...

The Financial Times, in the United Kingdom have a very interesting article published a couple days ago on survey results from MBA students. These students graduated in 2004 and the survey attempts to see their progress after 3 years, posting results for 2008. Again further proof that an MBA pays in the long run, though perhaps not ...

Hi,
I just recieved the information about Penn Foster's Dental Assistant program and I am amazed at how much cheaper it is than a regular vocational school. The brick and morter school I looked into costs thirteen thousand dollars!
Penn Foster's program is under one thousand! Although there's a voluntary clinical course that ...

Almost anyone in business can tell you, the world of business is becoming increasingly global. I’ve made no bones in the past about how important an MBA can be for ones future prospects at getting ahead. Though I am still debating as to whether this is because of the skills you learned due to your MBA studies or the sheer fact ...

This really seems more of a niche audience type of blog post, so if you’re reading this, you either like the way I write, are related to me or are really into music and education. As you may have surmised from the title, I’m attempting to appeal to the latter audience.
I’ve written in the past that I love to play guitar. In ...

A coworker of mine overheard me talking about the expense of graduate school. After all, I did just prepay the balance of my tuition to Ashford. He kind of in a joking way stated, “all of that money and time gone and you’re in the same job as me probably making the same money and I don’t even have a degree.”
Now he did ...
