Share with the group a online degree program-
For this assignment I decided wear my administrative hat and not that of a faculty member. The online degree program I wanted to share was the University of Phoenix (http://www.phoenixdegrees.com).
I decided on this university since it has changed the landscape of higher education. Also, I have known a couple of people who attended the University and both were impressed with the support they received. The individuals also indicated that the faculty were well prepared and the courses well presented.
Anoter online program or faculty resource is the MERLOT web site of instructional material. THe material presented at MERLOT is peer reviewed and academically sound. Also, the materials are free.

I have a friend who got her MBA from Phoenix, and her response was that parts of her educational experience were pretty good, and parts were really ... not. It seemed largely to depend on the "presence" (or not) of the instructor and on her classmates.
That's a scary thought for those of us on the faculty side. I think it's much easier to ride herd on unruly and unresponsive students in f2f situations...
