Folks, new to forum so please excuse if these two have been identified. Ohio University, University of Illinois Springfield http://www.ohiou.edu/adultlearning/guidestart.htm http://online.uis.edu/about.html May be of some help to folks. Thanks for all the info and posts.
Well I am not sure how they run their distance learning programs, but Ohio University is a good academic school and recognized nationally. I know a few people who went their for undergrad and grad school (on campus) and said they loved it. A very good school.
University of Illionois I checked out the U of Illinois at Springfield Masters of Teaching and Learning. I just started the masters program at CCHS, but I'm not happy with the lack of communication, so I'm considering finishing the class I paid for and going elsewhere. Since I'm financing this venture on my own, cost is a big factor. I have my BA from a well known state university, the name is not a consideration for the masters, only that it is accredited.
One thing that turns many DL learners off on the Ohio State program is that they only offer a BSS for Bachelor of Specialized Studies as opposed to the traditional B.A. or B.S. OU specifically states on their web page: "BSS rule: The BSS cannot duplicate an established major program at Ohio University in either area of concentration title or course selection" http://www.ohiou.edu/adultlearning/guidestart.htm They do have traditional A.S. and A.A. designations along with an Associate of Individualized Studies (AIS).
