Hello Developers!
Today marks another check point. I will be going into your courses this week to look for 50% completion. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Today I would like to highlight an article titled: The School Bell Rings Online. http://www.app.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080917/BUSINESS/809170364/1003
This article discusses a number of things that I feel are important to developers. First, the number of students taking online education is increasing. From 2002 to 2006 enrollment has nearly doubled to 3.5 million students! Second, there is still a very large scare about diploma mills. Diploma mills exist, but Globe Education Network is not one of them. The requirements that you follow during your development come directly from ACICS (Accrediting Council of Independent Colleges and Schools). Third, this article discusses both fully online courses as well as hybrid courses. It is important for you to know that the courses you are currently developing are being used for both purposes. Additionally, the material you develop is also becoming available to all residential instructors.
All of these factors come together to show you the importance of the courses you are developing. Students are relying on these courses for a quality education and residential and hybrid instructors are relying on the information you give them to help guide them in teaching their classes.
Thank you for your dedication to these courses and I look forward to going into your shells this week and taking a look at the material you have developed thus far!
