Global Online Academy

Global Online Academy

http://globalacademyonline.com/

is advertising for faculty in the Chronicle of Higher Education:

The school describes itself as, “Global Academy Online is the premier provider of online transparent, private label, courses and degree programs to distance learning institutions.”

I am not sure if this is a new school, or a supplier to schools.

 

Mmm, its promotes this organisation http://www.diulus.org/ which has one of those long pages about accreditation etc. Maybe licensed in New Mexico, not sure. Claims it is going to be the 12 accredited online university.

Cheers,

It appears that the owner is one Fred DiUlus, who is (or was) an Associate Professor of Business at CSW - see http://www.csw.edu

Is there any consensus as to what Global Academy Online actually is?

They've just issued a press release in which they name the top ten online universities in the world.

I'm trying to work out how pleased our university should be to be named no.1.

Many Thanks,

Brendan

 

In my opinion, for any organization, any press is good press ... but, also, in my opinion, GAO are a bunch of nobodies.

Helen,

Thanks for the link.

More or less what I thought.

All the best,

Brendan
