The internet has given rise to a multitude of time saving innovations and the realm of education has benefited more than most from the near universal access to information and knowledge that this brave new world has facilitated.
Much like the world of online dating, the initial uptake of the online education offerings was marginal and frankly of questionable quality. This all changed with the widespread adoption of Web 2.0 mechanisms - the world that facebook spawned has inadvertently led to developments elsewhere and the rapid uptake of technologies that can, do and will benefit millions of people. The University of Phoenix is perhaps the most famous example of an established off-line institution taking the lead in geographically neutral online education and training.
The advantages for all concerned of being able to engage with the bastions of formal cognitive improvements anywhere and at any time are obvious and plentiful. Below I have listed some of the better online universities, colleges, technical colleges and training centres I have encountered on the internet over the past 18 months:
- Capella University offers degree designation from online scholarship.
- Online Education & E-learning solutions offered through Skills Online Group.
- The gold standard in online training, the University of Phoenix.
Thank you for your interest and wish you everything of the best in your personal online educational pursuits.
