Good site for reviewing colleges

Labels: , | at 15:05

I've been looking into some different options for studying with an online university and found this site.

http://www.onlinedegreereviews.org

Alot of honest and some stinging reviews about the online colleges that I had found to be recommended in other places. It shows that it's important to do thorough research before beginning anything.

I'm looking into California Coast University  and Ashworth College.  Both of these are waaay cheaper than most colleges. At the same time any university that is online only may have national  accrediation that is recognized by the US department of education,  but since they do not have regional accreditation you may have some difficulty transfering to other brick and mortar universities. Both these universities are recognized by the US Department of Education.

More Free Courses

Labels: , | at 01:23


These links point to websites that offer free courses that are meant to cater to For-profits and Nonprofits, however many of these websites offer a variety of classes, not only management-specific courses.

For-Profit and Nonprofit Programs

Nonprofit-Specific Programs

Although the above-listed sites are labeled as "for-profit," many of the guidelines apply to nonprofits as well -- there is more in common between nonprofits and for-profits than is uncommon.

Free Online Lesson Plans, Lecture Notes, etc.

A recent trend is for educators to freely share their educational and training materials. In addition to using the materials to design and implement your own learnings about particular topics, you also can learn about systematically designing trainings in general, including about the training's outcomes, goals, learning objectives, training methods, result and methods of evaluation.
