9.Online Degrees
Today,you can earn a degree from a major university without ever having sat in one of their classrooms.Many colleges and universities are offering online courses and degree programs now.
Online Learning Programs
With a computer and an Internet connection,you can earn a degree from home,work,or anywhere else for that matter.Online degree programs follow much the same routines as traditional learning,with a few twists.There are lectures,but they won't be in person.There are assignments (作業(yè)),but you won't hand them to your instructor.In most situations,you are free to"go to class"when it fits your"schedule.If you get a phone call during class,you don't have to miss anything.If you get sick,you don't have to ask for someone's notes,and you just visit the lecture later.
You'll communicate with your instructor by e-mail,chat room and instant messaging.Your classroom will live in a special software program.Contrary to popular belief,you will have close contact with other students and the instructor.
Evaluating the Program
There are a lot of questions to ask before you make your selection,such as:
How do students interact with each other?
★Online programs can use chat rooms,instant messaging,teleconferencing,and video conferencing to communicate.The key is to find a program that has this interaction built into it and even requires it.
★What kind of reputation does the school have?
It may seem simple-a good school will have a good online program.This reputation,however,may not be as straightforward as you think.It's not uncommon for a great school to have a weak program or two.So you'd better look at the overall quality of the school and make a judgment.
The Employers'View
As more and more employees get online degrees and use them in the workforce(職場(chǎng)),hiring managers will begin to feel more secure about the quality of education these people have.
