Perhaps the list could be posted to the board as a sticky? I know others have requested this as well.

What is a sticky? Where do I post the list that I have, so that it will be posted to the board as a sticky?

A sticky is a post which is permanently placed at the top of the list. This can only be done by an administrator of the board.

	Psychology Degrees Psychology Degrees Psychologists study mental processes and human behavior by observing, interpreting, and recording how people and animals relate to one another and the environment. To do this, psychologists often look for patterns that will help them understand and predict behavior using scientific methods, principles, or procedures to test their ideas. Through such research studies, psychologists have learned much that can help increase understanding between individuals, groups, organizations, institutions, nations, and cultures. •Job opportunities are naturally best for individuals with higher degrees. Individuals with a doctoral degree are highly sought after, especially ones who holds degrees in a particularly in-demand subfield, such as health; those with a master’s degree will have good prospects in the corporate environment; bachelor’s degree holders will have limited prospects due to steep competition. •Employment growth will vary by specialty; for example, clinical, counseling, and school psychologists will have 11% growth; industrial-organizational psychologists will have 26% growth; and 14% growth is expected for all other fields of psychology.

THIS IS COOL! Create your own online course. Free software!

Thanks for your fine work in providing these links TC. As an aside, Athabasca U is in the process of converting to Moodle as its primary means of delivering most of its course materials. Some exceptions will be made for folks who cannot read materials strictly from a computer screen. I am also told by AU that not all courses will be totally online too.

Again, thanks for your work in providing these wonderful links.

I doubt that it will lead to any reduction in the fees that students pay. I'm told that for us at AU least, that we shouldn't put our hopes on it...:)
