From my experience, online vs. traditional makes no difference unless your talking online vs. ivy league schools. As long as you do the work and get the education, most places don't even inquire as to where you went. Experience is the key… if you own your own business currently, I'd say in corporate America, that would be your best asset!

Even though online education was originally developed as a method for enhancing adult learning, you are seeing more and more of it for the purpose of reaching places that are simply away from regular schools.

If the child has the opportunity to attend a brick and mortar institution, I would suggest that. However, if this is in a combination of home schooling, then there are still networks of home schoolers that allow the interaction with other children. Children need to learn communicable and social skills.

That would be my main concern. So, if it is an issue of distance or you have already decided in home schooling, then enhance it with an online program. However, if it the b&m school is available and it is a decent school, stay with the traditional format.

I hope this helps a little.

“My advice is to avoid online educators: these largely sign up people with low self-esteem, or those desperate for qualifications, and lacking knowledge of educational options.”

Wow, I’ve seen a lot of clueless people, but this post takes the cake.

I teach onground for a college and also online courses. People that take online courses are usually in the military, working 45+ hours, have familiies, and / or don’t have a college nearby that offers the courses they need. They are much more motivated than the traditional students I have onground, and generally score higher in comparable courses.

First thing that you need to do is find out if the college is regionally accredited, you can check at http://www.chea.org. This means they have been reviewed by an independent third party, so that you can rely on their program.

For something like medical transcribing, you’ll have no problem having your degree accepted, we have no problem with placement. Keep in mind, a degree is just one component of the hiring process.

I highly recommend online education but make sure its a good program. My suggestion is to stay away from generic schools and try to find a program that will add credit to your resume. Cornell, Boston University, and even Harvard all offer online classes and degrees. To do a search on schools visit the following website: http://www.petersons.com/distancelearning/code/search.asp

Good luck!
