Wednesday's Sites

Distance Education Clearinghouse powered by the University of Wisconsin offers today's distance ed headlines. This site provides worldwide news, opinions, articles, as well as updated headlines. The right margin contains links and info to technology, programs & courses, and research & statistics. Definitions and a glossary are provided for the novice user, which is a real plus. Though the white background is just a bit harsh, overall the site is really helpful and user-friendly. I'd recommend it.

The Online College Degree Resources page is not so great. At first glance, it looks nice; I actually like the format better than the Clearinghouse mentioned above. However, the content is not what I had hoped for. There is some discussion of convenience and communication, which is helpful. The site is not horrible...but it doesn't offer ENOUGH info on the advantages/disadvantages of distance ed. It did not appear to be updated this year, and there were no articles or headlines offered.
