I want to study online?
Question:
does anyone have any advice? or have you had any experience doing an online course?
Answer:
There are a number of websites offering degrees and certificates of many kinds, and they vary in quality marketedly. The ones that you see on the TV and internet ads are typically low-quality, and will have very little weight when an employer considers them on a resume. However, there are a number of Universities that offer online continuing education that also have brick-and-mortar locations. These programs are likely to be more useful, educational, and helpful to your career. A list of programs can be found here: http://www.college-scholarships.com/ssac...
Note that Boston University, Cornell University, and Gonzaga University all appear on this list. These are highly reputable institutions that will offer a decent program over the Internet.
That said, it would probably be a better choice to attend continuing education programs at a local college. The experience of actually being in a classroom is often a more powerful way to learn new things than using a computer.
What do you want to study? Most states will allow you teach with a BA. I am currently in a university in TExas that offers a 4 year teaching cert for teachers aides online. Check into you local university or where you graduated to see what they offer online. Good luck.
