You can start there and then transfer to Henderson State University in Arkadelphia and complete your bachelors degree online.  web site for is www.sautech.edu  and www.hsu.edu  I am going through the program now and it is wonderful.

I have taken many online courses. They are a bit more challenging than in class. If you have a question for the teacher, you have to email and wait for the answer. Most teachers have answered pretty quickly though. But you have to do your work early just for that reason. You also have to have a good Internet connection especially during tests. If you go offline during a test, some teachers request that you show proof from your provider. You still have to buy books. Your best bet is to go through Barnes and Nobles, since they have used books and they are cheaper. You can also get them through the school that you are using to go online. They will send them by mail. But make sure you get them early too. I don’t know anything about getting them shipped to India. I’m not even sure how the school would handle that. You would probably have to get your books through a bookstore and I’m not sure if they would even send them out of the country. I just don’t know….The work depends on the subject. English was all essays. History was assignments (answering questions) and essays. The only true/false/fill in the blanks/ choose the best answer were on the tests. Make sure that the school is nationally accredited since some accredited schools may be accredited locally. If you want to pursue a higher degree, you want to make sure that those credits are going to transfer. This is SO IMPORTANT!

Distant Learning... Via online.. Or just find buy some good books from Cambridge or Oxford and learned... But, you need a supervision from a teacher also, so, distant learning is the proper way.

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.

Well, I will be finishing up my two year degree at Strayer University here in the next month or so, and it is only in General Studies.\n\nI wouldn't recommend going to school for a bachelors degree online. I say this because In my experience you need the social atomosphere of people in the same field you are in, you also need a learning environment, and not your home office.\n\nAnother thing about online school is that I seem to blow off my work alot and end up having to do it at the last minute on the weekend. I work full time, and value my weekends, so I dont want to be stuck doing school work on the weekends, but I procrastinate and do it anyway.\n\nI would say on my journey for this little degree that I have though, my physical classes I've taken have been no different than my online classes. Most of them have been core classes and electives though, so it's really not a big deal. I would definately want to get my bachelors and above at a real school though.\n\nGood luck.

The biggest thing when looking for an online university is to check the accreditation. If they are a regionally accredited college the credits you earn (General Education) can be transferred to other Universities, like Ohio State or whatever. If it is a nationally accredited college, it is trash.\n\nYou should try looking into regionally accredited State Universities for working adults. Just go to the biggest school in your state (for me it's the University of Minnesota) and then ask them for a list of other state schools in the area. If your major university doesn't offer online classes, there is a good chance these colleges will, plus you have the opportunity to discuss your academic progress with a counselor. You also pay in state tuition rates as well.\n\nGood luck.

Online classes are not necessarily harder, but they do require a lot of self motivation. You also need to be good with deadlines. I have wondered about what employers think of online universities, but I think as long as you choose a school that is accredited, you will be okay. Good luck.

I would regard online universities as the absolute last resort for someone seeking higher education.\n\nThe quality of education these programs offer is minimal - there is simply no substitute for the kind of dynamic interactions and discussions that commonly occur in face-to-face college courses. Also, the quality of educator is significantly less at online universities - the best faculty choose to teach at real colleges and universities. Both the pay and work environments are far superior to online universities. So, for great classes from great instructors, go to a real college or university.\n\nAlso, because of the minimal training they offer, employers and graduate institutions place little value in degrees earned from online programs. Many of these programs lack even basic accreditation for the degree programs they offer.\n\nBottom line - you will receive little if any personal or professional benefit from online universities relative to what you could have received from a real college or university.

I don't know which country you live in, but Athabasca University in Canada offers a very well recognized distance undergraduate degree in education.  It is a very good university.

Online degree programs are great for being efficient. You can usually work more at your own pace and are not dependent on being at a specific location. This saves you a lot of time and makes it easier for you to keep working while being in school.  Also, many schools handle assignments, notes, discussions, and quizzes over the web. This means that you can work and participate anywhere with an Internet connection, and turn in your assignments at any time of the day.\n\nThere are many benefits to get a degree online vs. in a traditional classroom setting. Here's a site with a lot more great information on some quality online schools and programs:\n\nhttp://www.college-scholarship-hound.com/index.php?t=onlineschools\n\nGood luck to you in your search!

Yes, I can make a couple of recommendations--links below. Be sure, though, that if you want to teach in a public school that you get a degree from a college or school that is accredited by both a regional accrediting agency (such as the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools) and by the state department of education or public instruction in the state in which it is located. That will allow you to get a teaching license more efficently.\n\nOne option to consider is to go to your local community college for your first two years of schooling. You can get your courses at convenient times and they will be accepted at most all four year colleges.\n\nNote that there are any number of colleges offering distance education degrees (University of Phoenix, Capella University, Walden University) that are accredited, but they are also much more expensive. I didn't include them, but you can look them up online if you wish.\n\nBest of luck to you!

You answered your question already. You must make the site look really genuine. It is my opinion that we tend to judge on line education based on how the website look and ensures that it's not one of those where you'll end up paying for "manuals, guidebooks" and all other stuffs that you don't actually need. You have to trust your instinct and stick to your feasibility study when you first thought of putting up your on line education...consider the competition as well. Personally, I'd go for an Internet based education that is somehow "connected" or affiliated  with a known educational institution...

I am an online English teacher in Ohio.  Before that, I taught high school English in the public schools.  When I became interested in learning and teaching online, I enrolled in a graduate program for online teaching at California State University/East Bay and earned a certificate for it.  There are hundreds of online schools.  What I did was search for them on the Internet and looked for jobs.  You can also go to www.indeed.com and search with keywords:  "virtual math teacher"  and see what comes up.  Career Builder and Monster are also good places to look.

Be cautious with online schools. Most "online" schools don't have good reps. Consider your options carefully. \n\nThere are reputable, "brick and mortar" schools that also offer degrees online. Their good reputation for their on-campus programs will flow over into their online program. I strongly recommend that you look at some of those. \n\nSome great universities that offer online degrees include:\n\nUniversity of Massachusetts at Amherst\nRensselaer Polytechnic Institute\nUniversity of Denver\nUniversity of Maryland\nDuke University\nDrexel\nCarnegie Mellon\nPenn State\nBall State\nU Nebraska - Lincoln\nBabson\nWorcester Polytechnic Institute\nUniversity of Illinois\n\nAnd there are others. But in general, when you're looking for a distance learning degree, try to find a program at a school that has a good reputation for their "brick and mortar" campus. \n\nGood luck.
