The Benefits Of Online High School

By Josh Neul

Online schooling - this is one of the most popular forms of education in today's generation. It is becoming a norm, since more and more have been enlisting in online schools. Online schools were first introduced to college level students and to those working for their master's degree. Later, online schooling was introduced to high school and middle school students as well. In this article we will be focusing on online high school courses.

Like everything else on the planet, online schools, whether online colleges, online high schools or online middle schools, have their up and down sides. Being enrolled in an online school, specifically in online high school courses, is beneficial to high school students. But, high school students are not the only ones to benefit from online high school courses; adults who do not have a high school diploma can benefit too.

It is good for high school students, because they can enroll in advanced courses, so they can graduate faster, or in remedial courses, so they can catch up to the required academic progress. Online high school courses are also great for undergraduate employees, because they can finish their high school education without giving up their job.

Students who are at the same time employees will find online high school courses to be very helpful and convenient because of their being flexible, especially with scheduling issues. They will allow the student to study at his preferred time, i.e. your shift is 9-5, and you will be allowed to study after your shift ends.

If you attend an online school, you will find that you will be allowed to work at your own stride. The syllabus for each course will be given to you in advance, so you can either work on the designated pace, go faster, so you can finish quicker, or you can go slower, so you can fully understand your lessons. This will also allow you to do advanced reading and reviewing, in case you missed a point in your previous lessons.

Being flexible is not the only advantage of an online school and online high school courses. Another plus factor of studying in an online school is that the whole of the internet is equivalent to your library. All internet resources are available to you. Because your schooling is done online, it is only reasonable and logical that aside from your given modules and text material, you rely on and make the most of internet resources too.

But, like mentioned earlier, online schools do have disadvantages. One of these is the lack of interaction. Since you are on your own, working at your home or with your laptop somewhere else, you are not able to interact with a teacher or classmates, which according to experts, is a contributory factor to a student's learning and understanding. This is not necessarily always true though, since everyone has different learning styles.

Going back to school is never a bad idea, and now might be the right time for you. An online school can make this easier for you. Just remember that if you decide to enlist in online high school courses, that the school you choose is accredited by the right people, and that they will help you in every possible way to get your diploma. - 29891

Six Guielines Learners Need To Follow To Be Successful When Learning Online

By Sophia Peters

With the globalization of the economy have come many changes. Distance is no longer an obstacle to communication; labour crosses borders; jobs change; and people change jobs frequently. And because of all these changes, lifelong education becomes particularly important in this knowledge-based economy.

But education on-campus at university or college is not possible for many people because jobs or other commitments make it impossible for them to attend on-campus classes. Online learning provides a flexible solution for such people. Unfortunately, many learners enter an online program without realising the problems they need to face. Thus, all too often they are disappointed with their first experience of this new mode of learning. To avoid this, there are six things that the learner should watch out for.

Online education is a flexible form of education, but it doesn't mean that you can keep "putting off" your learning day after day. All too often, that is what often happens - and this results in failure to learn. So be organised - manage your time. Set aside a regular time in your diary for study of the material and completion of assignments.

With the world of work and our living environment constantly changing, you need to be constantly learning new ways of doing things. To be successful, you need a desire for life-long learning. And this is precisely what you should have or wish to develop in yourself - a desire to learn.

Unfortunately, many of us were taught to use "rote learning" at school. But other skills are needed to acquire meaningful knowledge. This means having well-developed critical reading and thinking skills. To be successful in learning online requires that you develop these skills. Many programs or colleges will provide a course to help you acquire such skills - it would be well worthwhile taking it so that you do know how to learn.

For many people, school taught them to be "passive learners" and such learning seemed to be a useful strategy for success. But it is not a useful strategy for success in today's world, or, indeed, in online learning. If you are learning online, the courseware often includes questions, exercises and further reading so that your learning can be active rather than passive. You must make sure that you complete all the exercises and that you thoroughly interact with the material so as to gain the most out of it. Do not be a passive learner.

Lectures in high school classrooms and in undergraduate classes can all so easily encourage the "passive learning" already referred to. But real learning takes place when you are interacting with the materials and with others. So try to find a learning group, either in your area or online, and exchange ideas regularly. Also, make sure that you respond to all the e-Tutor's requests for participation in the discussion forums. There may even be a mark allocated for such participation.

Don't be tempted to buy a qualification from a "diploma mill" - a business that simply prints diplomas and degrees. Such qualifications are worthless in the eyes of employers and genuine educational institutions, so will just be a waste of your money. Always take an accredited program from an accredited institution. - 29891

How Can You Spot A Fake Online Bachelor Degree?

By Mary Jackson

With the rise in demand for online bachelor degrees, many bogus learning institutions have mushroomed over the internet with the sole intention of taking advantage of innocent students seeking for a genuine degree. These so-called "Colleges" often attract applicants with their attractive degree programs which are boasts of easy graduation, low tuition fees, no examinations and credit given for life experience, all of which just sound too good to be true. Some of them even go to the extent of prospecting for customers by sending out bulk email citing university degrees for sale.

Unfortunately, it can be difficult for aspiring students to differential between a real online Bachelor degree and the one that is not worth the paper on which it is printed. Most students are seeking an online education because they do not have the ability to attend classes on campus. In addition, many simply live too far away-even overseas. Therefore, the only criterion for determining a school's validity is the website. Important decisions are made on whether the site looks professional and seems to offer the right education; but, that is no way to judge whether a college is credible or not.

One of the best ways to determine credibility is to pay close attention to how the credentials are stated. For example, if an educational institution claims to have nationwide or worldwide accreditation, without revealing which government agency provided the accreditation, it's possible the college or university probably does not possess the necessary seal of approval to provide legitimate online Bachelor degrees.

Six accreditation agencies have been given the authority to award college accreditation. The agencies are divided by geographic location, so it is possible to contact the appropriate office to determine whether a college or university has legitimate standing and been registered in that district. The agencies are all appointed by the National Board of Education and include: New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), North Central Association of Schools and Colleges (NCA), Middle States Association of Schools and Colleges (MSA), Southern Association of Schools and Colleges (SACS), Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges (NWCCU).

Another important clue to illegitimacy is mass-emails or mail offering degrees for sale. There are cases of online Bachelor degrees, Masters, or even online Doctorate degrees being obtained by a fixed tuition rate. Some bogus colleges even have the audacity to promise a degree in the mail within 7 days. These unethical businesses take advantage of people who must have a degree in order to get a decent job, or keep the one they have in the first place. However, others take big steps to appear above board and genuine. Displaying evidence of accreditation from a bogus website makes the "school" look real. But, unless one of the 6 authorized agencies is mentioned, it may not be an accredited school. In addition, the only way to earn a college degree is by honest hard work and dedication. If a site offers credit for life experiences, travel, work experience, educational background, or even the amount of books read in the past, rest assured it may not be an institute dedicated to qiality, legitimate and excellent learning.

In short, because of the influx of fake degrees, it leaves the employers worried about the legitimacy of online Bachelor Degrees. Thus to avert these fears and ensure you get a job with an online degree, it is imperative to carefully select a college that possesses all the support and resources to provide quality education approved by the U.S. Department of Education, and granted accreditation through one of the 6 designated agencies with the authority to award proper accreditation to legit institutions. - 29891

Ready For Online Distance Education? Read These 10 Rules First

By Mary Jackson

Accreditation - this is perhaps the most important of the rules. Accreditation confirms that the college meets certain educational standards that are set by the accrediting education agencies. If you earn credits from an accredited online distance education college, chances are you can transfer them to another accredited institution of your choice. Your chances for acquiring a new job or getting a promotion are greatly enhanced if your degree is accredited.

Be on the look-out for unaccredited online distance education colleges otherwise known as "degree mills". There are many fake institutions granting "accreditation" to any organization willing to pay some money for it. Before you pick your college, make sure you research that it is accredited by a legit body. If you are not sure the college you wish to attend has a legitimate accreditation, consult with the United States Department of Education or CHEA to confirm.

To ensure that the degree program your are considering is aligned with your long-term educational goals, especially if you think you'll need to advance your degree (for example from bachelors to MBA), it'll benefit you to check if the online distance education institution you'd want to attend for your MBA accepts transfer credits from another online institution.

Class size plays a big role in an online distance education college as it does in a traditional classroom. The smaller the better, thus you should investigate the class size of the institution you wish to join.

Find out if the faculty hold any credentials and if they are qualified to teach the program you want to enroll in. If you can dig further to find out what degrees they hold and if they are experienced in teaching online students, this will save you the distress of finding out later that your instructor is a fellow un-qualified student with no education skills.

Are the administrators, technical staff and faculty responsive if you need help or have questions with your courses? Since every college offers a different form and level of support, make sure you find one that is aligned with your needs and expectations. This will alleviate frustration when you need help during your classes.

Most colleges have their online classes rolling out all the time. This is a great thing and makes learning flexible. As such you should not feel pressured by the admission office or anyone else to start your program right away. You should start only when you feel your mind is set to it. This will ensure you stay motivated and put the effort you need to succeed with your classes.

Check out if your program will be offered entirely online or if it will require residency at some point in the course. Some online courses have site projects and require residency so let this not come as a surprise to you.

Most online colleges offer financial aid and tuition assistance. You'll be pleased to discover how much financial help you have available inform of loans, scholarships, financial aid and other federal loans. Some institutions even have tuition payment plans and employer-reimbursement programs. Find out if your college of interest offers such programs.

Your research for a good online college should not be a hurried task. Invest time in it and ask lots of questions. Quality education is crucial to your career advancement thus you should not get less than you deserve. New and traditional colleges are coming up with online programs every day. You have more choices than ever before to get your best education online. - 29891

Bogus Online Bachelor Degrees - How Can You Tell?

By Mary Jackson

Along with the growing popularity of obtaining an online Bachelor degrees, many bogus schools have cropped up to cash in, taking advantage of potential students seeking a genuine education to maintain their current level of employment, or achieve specific career goals. Unfortunately, the sales pitch attracts many students who do not possess the time, or the finances, to gain a college education. The main selling points may include easy graduation, no tests or end of semester exams, credit for life experiences, and lower tuition fees. Some diploma mills even have the audacity to make money through bulk emails offering to sell university degrees.

Therefore, with all the confusion generated, how can students sieve out the genuine from the bogus? This may be especially difficult for distance learning programs when students practically make their choices based on what is shown on a website. In many cases, especially for international students, it may not be feasible to visit the physical site of a college before enrolling. With this, making choices will really depend on the appearance and content of a website, which sometimes may not be an accurate judge of the creditability of a college.

One of the qualifying factors that can be utilized by students to make correct enrolment decisions is by determining the type of college accreditation that has been received by their college of consideration. If the college vaguely states itself as having "nationwide or worldwide accreditation" without stating specifically which regional accreditation body it is accredited with, then most likely this college does not possess legitimate accreditation.

In the U.S., college accreditation is awarded by one of the following six accreditation agencies which are all appointed by the National Board of Education - New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), North Central Association of Schools and Colleges (NCA), Middle States Association of Schools and Colleges (MSA), Southern Association of Schools and Colleges (SACS), Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges (NWCCU). Each agency has been allocated responsibility for providing accreditation for schools in specific states. Therefore, it would be best to run checks on a particular online degree institution with the agency offering college accreditation for the state in which the college is registered in.

If a university sends out mass e-mailings offering on online Bachelor degrees, Master's Degree, and even Doctorate degrees for a fixed rate, it is a sure sign the result will be a bogus degree. Course credits for such a degree may include such strange elements as: credit for life experiences, work experience, previous educational background, workshops, community services, travel, and books read in the past. To further confuse the issue, fake accrediting URLS are set up to prove accreditation, but unless it is from one of the 6 agencies endorsed by the Department of Education, the award is most likely phony. The unscrupulous institutions depend on the desperation of people who do not have the time, or the money, to earn a valid degree. Nevertheless, without that all-important diploma, good jobs are impossible to find.

In short, because of the influx of fake degrees, it leaves the employers worried about the legitimacy of online Bachelor Degrees. Thus to avert these fears and ensure you get a job with an online degree, it is imperative to carefully select a college that possesses all the support and resources to provide quality education approved by the U.S. Department of Education, and granted accreditation through one of the 6 designated agencies with the authority to award proper accreditation to legit institutions. - 29891

If you earn credits from an accredited online distance education college, chances are you can transfer them to another accredited institution of your choice. Your chances for acquiring a new job or getting a promotion are greatly enhanced if your degree is accredited.

Be aware of degree mills - there are many questionable accrediting agencies out on the internet that are outright fraud and are willing to give fake "accreditation" to any institution willing to pay a certain fee. Some of the degree mills are even owned by these same fake accrediting agencies. Make sure you do your homework and thoroughly investigate the accreditation that the college of your choice claims to have. While many online colleges are legitimately accredited, be aware that there are many that are not. Check out your prospective college to see if the accrediting body is approved by the United States Department of Education or CHEA.

Before you choose an online college, it's also important to think about what your long-terms plans and goals are as far as your education is concerned. Incase you intend to pursue further education, think about if you'll need to transfer credits from one college to another. With this knowledge you'll be able to choose a college that allows and accepts credit transfers.

Just like in a traditional classroom, class size is important. You want to be in a class where your voice can be heard. So check the class size of the college you're considering.

How about the qualification of the faculty in the program that you're interested in? What degrees do they hold? From which institutions? What experience do they have in the subject they teach? Do they have experience teaching online classes? Do your homework and get answers to avoid been taught by other students like yourself.

Are the administrators, technical staff and faculty responsive if you need help or have questions with your courses? Since every college offers a different form and level of support, make sure you find one that is aligned with your needs and expectations. This will alleviate frustration when you need help during your classes.

One of the great things about online distance education programs is that you can begin almost anytime. Thus you shouldn't let anyone rush you into starting your program until you feel ready to put the time and effort it will require for you to succeed.

Verify whether during the course of your program, there are classes that will require residency or if you will be able to complete the entire program online. This will help you prepare in advance.

Many online colleges have some form of financial aid or tuition assistance, loans, grants, scholarships available to their online students. You will be surprised at what you can qualify for. Many online schools offer tuition payment plans and employee reimbursement programs. Make sure you ask what tuition programs are available to you.

Take your time to research your best degree option and college out there. Don't settle for less than you deserve. Unlike there before when online programs were limited, now there are enormous options and colleges to choose from as most traditional colleges are already offering some programs online. - 29891

How You Can Get The Best From Online Learning: Six Guidelines

By Sophia Peters

Globalization has made an enormous difference to the way we live and work, and I don't just mean the impact of petrol prices on our driving habits. Communicating with someone on the other side of the world is just as easy as communicating with someone next door. People change jobs more often than before, and jobs change just as frequently. And all these changes underscore the importance of education in this globalized, competitive, technology-driven, knowledge-based economy.

But education on-campus at university or college is not possible for many people because jobs or other commitments make it impossible for them to attend on-campus classes. Online learning provides a flexible solution for such people. Unfortunately, many learners enter an online program without realising the problems they need to face. Thus, all too often they are disappointed with their first experience of this new mode of learning. To avoid this, there are six things that the learner should watch out for.

When you study on-campus, other people organise much of your study time. With online learning, you have to organise it yourself. So be organised - manage your time. Set aside a regular time in your diary for study of the material as if you were attending classes. And complete assignments well before the due dates. That way you have time to check them and also avoid those last minute things that go wrong when you're late. Do not be a poor time manager.

To complete a degree online means often working alone when your friends are out enjoying themselves, and it means maintaining this level of commitment for a long period of time. To achieve this, you must have a high degree of motivation. We did some research on success factors for our mature-age online learners. The number one factor wasn't previous exam results - it was motivation. Even with very few previous academic qualifications, we found that students would succeed providing they were motivated. So, do make sure that you are highly motivated.

Unfortunately, many of us were not taught how to learn. Instead we were only taught to remember things and to apply rules. Somewhere along the way we were expected to acquire the skills to acquire knowledge. In today's world it is essential that we "know how to learn". In particular, learning online requires that you develop these skills. This not only means having the technical skills of how find books or web sites on a topic, it also means having well-developed critical reading and thinking skills.

For many of us, our school experience has taught us to be "passive learners" - we were told the knowledge, we learned it by rote and then we repeated it in an exam. Passive learning seemed to be a useful strategy for success. Unfortunately, that is not a useful strategy for success in today's world, or, indeed, in online learning. If you are learning online, the courseware often includes questions, exercises and further reading so that your learning can be active rather than passive. You must make sure that you complete all the exercises and that you thoroughly interact with the material.

In an online course, real learning takes place when you are interacting with others on the course. So try to find a learning group, either in your area or online - your e-Tutor may well facilitate this. You can then take part in "social learning" - and you will find that you only truly "know" something when you try to explain it to someone else. Make sure that you respond to all the e-Tutor's requests for feedback and do participate in the discussion forums.

Never buy a qualification from a "diploma mill" - it can cost you! Before you enrol in a program, make sure is it accredited by a real accrediting body. Many diploma mills will claim to be accredited by a fake body, so check with licensing boards and professional associations under which they claim to offer programs. - 29891

Winning Successful College Scholarships By Maintaining Lists

By James Scholaris

Students who have finished high school and are about to start college are usually looking for college scholarships. They are energetic and are looking forward to starting their college life.

Everyone thinks that college life is full of freedom and fun. Students cant wait to move out of their homes and settle in the college dorms. They usually forget that college life is full of freedom and fun but with a price of responsibility.

Students sometimes face financial difficulty when they start their college life. A lot of money is spent on tuition and books etc and it is hard to save money with so much expenses.

Students can pay for their college expenses through scholarships,and they do not have to get an education loan by doing so. The money from scholarships can help in a lot of ways to pay for your college expenses as you deserve it.

If you want to apply for scholarships, you should first think about all the scholarships that you may have heard about. This will help you organize and you can see how many you will apply for. You should try to make a long list so you have a lot of options to choose from. You should not hesitate to ask your career counselor about it, if you do not know many scholarships, or you could find them online. There are many websites which can help find the right scholarship for you.

By using the internet, students can also get access to websites which provide list of scholarships, available for college students, for free. This will help you in making your list longer than you originally came up with. If you also note down the qualification criteria for each scholarship in your list, you will save a lot of time. Later you would not have to go through each scholarship again and sort for the ones you need just by using your list.

Scholarships should be applied for if you meet for all of the qualification criteria, or some of it. Do not be disappointed if you do not get a scholarship.

It is better if you keep your list even after you have applied to scholarships. It will help you see which ones you got and check which ones you did not get.

Do not forget to apply for scholarships with lesser rewards. Many students usually do not apply for such scholarships and there is a better chance of getting one. For example if you qualify for, say, 10 scholarships, you can easily pay for what a larger one would pay.

The important point is to apply for all the scholarships that are known to you, regardless of the amount they provide. - 29891

What to Consider: Online Masters Degree Programs

By Wes Jones

Masters Degree Programs can advance your aspirations to the next level. However there are a few things that one should contemplate when considering a masters program, especially online ones. You do not want to throw away a lot of money on a worthless program. So think of the following things before starting a program.

1) Program Expense

The price tag of the course is critical. There are some degrees that are easy on the pocket. Other degrees are expensive. Some programs cost are similar as it would cost if you attended the university in a residential program. Whatever the case, you need to determine the cost of the program. You then want to compare this tuition to the increase to your earnings or the movement towards your goals.

A Master's program will pay for itself over the life of your career, just make sure this is true in your case. I know someone who paid for one of those very high-priced Master's of Business Administration only to find that she could not find a job after finishing. Think about the cost and verify it is what you are prepared and able to pay.

2) Accreditation

There are some accreditations for your area that you should determine. At least, your program should be regionally accredited generally. Don't be fooled by the statement "fully accredited." There are many schools that are accredited by accrediting agencies that were created by the school itself. Ignore any organization trying to palm off such accreditation as "fully accredited."

After having said that, it is not always essential that your master's degree program be accredited. You know your requirements. For example, in some religious contexts, accreditation is not as essential as in other areas. However, if you want to be a professor or the like, then accreditation becomes very important. To put it more straightforwardly, if you wish to be a professor, for whatever reason, then these programs are in all probability not your best option.

3)Residency Requirements.

Are you required to spend some time at the school or not? I would encourage you to really look at this. Some programs demand a periodic stay on campus. Whatever the residency requirements, remember to consider if it is feasible. It adds to the cost of the program.

4) Prestige

Be prepared for the smirks or knowing looks from some who will look down at your degree. No matter how legit, a number will consider it as a problematic program . I would encourage all to make sure as best you can that the program is legit. And then to never hide anything, but respect your degree yourself. Prestige is a matter of your mindset.

Please spend some time thinking about your masters program. If you do that, then you will be well on the way to getting a Masters degree program that you will be satisfied with. - 29891

Distance Learning University Offers Many Advantages

By Andy Zain

You really need an advanced degree to get ahead in your job. Or perhaps you want to change careers, but you can't afford to quit your current position and go to college full-time. Fortunately, a distance learning university can help you achieve your educational and career goals.

The technical breakthrough represented by the development in the World Wide Web in the early'90s has spurred the surge of distance learning universities. Thanks to the Web, it's possible to use technology to bridge the time and space between instructors and students, making it possible for the student to gain knowledge from the instruction without having to travel to a campus.

Unfortunately, as with every technical advance, some have used the technology for less-than-ethical ends. In fact, some distance learning university programs found online are completely unreliable. For that reason it's crucial that a prospective student select his or her distance learning university with great care.

The first step is to compile a list of distance learning schools. Next, check to see if the colleges and universities on your list are accredited institutions of higher education. Accreditation is essential, because the degree you earn from distance learning may not be worth your investment if your credentials aren't accepted.

Furthermore, not every distance learning university offers all levels of degrees. So your choice of an online learning program will be guided on whether you wish to earn a two-year, four-year or graduate degree.

As you make your plans, don't overlook the fact that a college education, even from a distance learning university, requires a great deal of time and effort. You'll have to make some sacrifices, but you don't have to do so blindly. Instead, carefully review the number of degree credits required by each distance learning university you're considering. Also take into account the minimum grade point average required. Assessing these two factors will give you a better idea of what will be required of you to earn that coveted degree.

Cost is another major factor in selecting the distance learning university that's right for you. Look carefully over the tuition costs at colleges and universities that interest you. Next, contact the university's financial aid office for information on scholarships, grants, or loans that could help you pay for your education. In many cases a college has an online form you can complete, or you can contact the financial aid office via email, telephone or fax. To be eligible for student aid you will have to complete a FAFSA, or Free Application for Federal Student Aid.

Students at a distance learning university program can have difficulty accessing the student services available to those who attend on campus. That's why it's important to find out if there is online access for such services as academic advisement, career counseling, research and library facilities and tutoring.

All colleges and universities today have web sites, and many of these sites include web pages or sections for various academic departments. Visit these pages to locate information on major and minor programs, instructors and curriculum.

Consider all this upfront research as practice for the rigors of college student. Use it to narrow your search down to two or three top candidate schools. Then choose the distance learning university that's right for you. - 29891

Distance Learning Schools, Learning From Home

By Andy Zain

Education using a distance learning school is available to all. Many thousands of courses can be studied from many different levels, from school to professional to degree or vocational. Courses can be on every course imaginable, from business studies to IT to beauty and fitness. A qualification can be awarded or a course can just be for fun.

Many distant learning programs with a final qualification are accredited and recognised by professional bodies and employers. A large career jump can be realised by studying from home. There is also the immense feeling of satisfaction of passing a course and having a certificate presented.

Learning from home can be flexible. A student can learn at a pace that he or she is comfortable with; it all depends on an individual's lifestyle and time available to study. For example, a mother with a young family may not wish to study for more than a few hours a week whereas someone freshly out from school with no family connections may wish to study for many hours per week. There are no costs involved in having to attend tutorials, which can be many miles away.

Much of the learning material is now sent out electronically although there are many different media types. Such examples include books, CD's DVD's, software program disks, etc.

It is very simple to get started. Find the course that is suitable and pay any fees. Be assigned a tutor, receive the course materials. The tutor will introduce himself and that's all there is to it. You're up and running!

No two courses are the same. They can vary in many different ways. A course can last a year, or more, or they may only be for a few weeks.
