Interesting that this is an essay question for a few scholarships I know of....but actually distance education is expanding faster now than ever before. It has also moved more to using the web and WebCT courses. For more information look up the Rural Alaska Television Network (RatNET). They are the first in the country to provide distance education to such a HUGE area and number of people. They have been quite successful and are now called AlaskaOne, a PBS network.

Mediocre. I feel that online schools take away  from the experience of being in a live college environment. Although the at home convenience may be helpful and beneficial to others, i think that everyone should participate from a college campus. However i believe the education offered is the same. Also i do believe that you learning may be easier when in the classroom setting.

Distance learning is good if that institution is accredited to do so. Same job oppurtunity is there. But better you do Certified Cyber Crime Investigator, not the other. Casue you are a lawyer!.

1) get and USE a (whatever your native tongue is) to English dictionary.  2) If you are going to learn through 'distance education' why limit it to India?  There are colleges and universities all over the world who offer on line education.

Distance learning comes in many styles.\n\nGet informed.\n\nUsually, distance learning requires more motivation and discipline.

Online degrees are growing in popularity. It will still be a few years before they are at the same level as traditional degrees, but I believe they will get there eventually.\n\nI have heard of a few employers rejecting an application because the only education was an online degree. However, I have heard of others who took the degree at face value. It really depends on the employer.

Excelsior is a great answer! \n\nYou might also try these 2 websites, the first is a discussion board about distance learning and the second is by a man who completed a Bachelor's in 4 weeks!  (Of course he knew a lot first and took a lot of CLEP tests).

"Replace" is a strong word.  I can see them becoming more readily accepted, and probably will become the dominant mechanism for some types of education, but I really think they will ultimately have more impact on K-12 than on universities, and they will never have any real impact on graduate school (beyond some isolated degree programs like the MBA).  The university may be able to farm out a lot of the required coursework...the same types that we used to try to CLEP out of years ago, but I can't see the majority of coursework becoming online only.  Still, the volume of classes that CAN become online will have a great effect on the way we do higher education.

If you are talking about degree-level, try The Open University. I used to refer to their course material in the university library when I was at university and found it very easy to understand and well written.\n\nLearn Direct has a good reputation for distance learning at all levels.

Actually, I'd stay a Mass Communication major, but I'd learn all the new technology. I'd learn non-linear video editing with computers and more web page stuff etc. etc.

You have to be very careful with on line degrees.  Many of them are not recognized.  Attending a bricks and mortar university is always better.  Athabasca University  in Alberta, Canada is one school that has been doing distance education for over 30 years.  It is better than most on line universities.  It may meet your needs.
