  two good US ACCREDITED DE/DL providers: ADAMS STATE & COLUMBIA COLLEGE. no differential fees for foreigners.
Posted by: ham - 11-17-2007, 06:39 AM - Forum: Distance Learning Discussion - No Replies

it might not be Harvard or Cambridge, but it isn't MIGS or some dodgy PO operation run from a massage parlor basement in LA or the jungles of Liberia, either.
Both duly accredited.
Highly recommended, offer a series of degrees via distance education.

http://www2.adams.edu/extended_studies/independent/
ADAMS STATE COLLEGE
+/-120/130 US$ per 1 undergraduate credit.


-------------------
http://www.ccis.edu/online/apply/
COLUMBIA COLLEGE
around US$ 200 per 1 undergraduate credit.


No differential fees for non-US citizens, so they say.

  DL TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Posted by: DR ANATIDAE - 11-15-2007, 05:22 PM - Forum: Distance Learning Discussion - Replies (1)

It’s not too long ago that Richard Coleman Douglas called me a LIAR when I said that I had been teaching by distance learning for 37 years. It will in fact be 40-years in September 2008!
For close to 24 years I worked on-campus for The Open Polytechnic of NZ as a Tutor, mainly in the mechanical engineering distance learning arena, having qualified in the UK as an engineering designer before emigrating to New Zealand.
In 1986 the Principal of TOPNZ, who just happened to be a shooting sports person, suggested that the time was right to introduce some non-vocational distance learning course – courses that would be of benefit to the country.
So, I suggested that TOPNZ should introduce a distance learning course in Firearms Safety. The Principal liked the idea and stated that if I could gain support from the NZ Mountain Safety Council and Police National HQ he would approve the course preparation. This was not difficult as at that time I was a member of the NZ Mountain safety Council’s FIREARMS SAFETY COMMITTEE and there were two senior HQ police officers on this committee!
The NZ Arms Act was drastically re-written in 1983 and required that everyone wanting a firearms licence must take a course of study, pass a test and then be considered as a FIT & PROPER PERSON to have a firearms licence.
So, I wrote the five module course covering:
FIREARMS LAW & SAFETY
TYPES OF FIREARMS USED IN NEW ZEALAND
FIREARM USAGE IN NEW ZEALAND
RELOADING RIFLE AND PISTOL AMMUNITION
RELOADING SHOTGUN AMMUNITION
The course was launched in 1987 as the first non-vocational course ever offered by the Technical Correspondence Institute.
Very rapidly successful completion of the course gained approval for the study and test requirements of the Arms Act, and today remains the only other means of complying with the Arms Act. The other method requires applicants to complete a NZ Mountain Safety Council lecture – and pass the NZMC examination.
On top of this recognition the NZ Government and the NZ Qualifications Authority put in place a process where a student completing the TOPNZ Firearms Safety course would be awarded seven Units on the NZQA National Framework (see www.nzqa.govt.nz ). I believe that such recognition is a ‘world first’ and clearly recognises the value of having sound firearm safety educational programmes. In fact this policy, when coupled with the requirements of the 1983 Arms Act and resulted in very little crime with firearms in New Zealand.
Some 20-years on we have seen over 5,000 Kiwi’s enrol for the TOPNZ course and the completion rate of over 70% is the highest for any distance learning course offered in New Zealand.
New Zealand has a long history of firearms usage and there are close to 300,000 firearms licence holders, with around 5000 new firearm licence applications each year.
Continual strong support for the TOPNZ DL course has come from the NZ Police, the Secondary schools, the NZ military, by the large numbers of shooting sports people who already have a firearms licence, and by people wanting a firearms licence.
In 1992 I opted out of on-campus teaching to pursue other interests, but I still handle and teach all TOPNZ Firearms Safety students – off-campus.
Later on I’ll provide some info on the course content for TOPNZ’s highly successful firearms safety course.
So Richard Coleman Douglas can put that in his pipe and smoke it!

Jamesville, is really screwed up. Aimoo has messed up all the forums I have checked, mine included. The various owners are screaming at the owners of Aimoo, but nothing is happening. I suppose it has melted down, who knows. I can't get in to alter or change anything. If it comes back up I'll probably just delete the thing. It is so screwed up that I don't really want to deal with it from scratch.

Thanks to all who visited and posted. We had a good run and presented many different views. I'll keep looking in here and will post at times as required for balance and accuracy.

Post on gossamer wings
Despite the ever-changing statements by others, and despite direct threats made by others to me and to other posters here and in other venues, a goatbag is a goatbag and a fantasy goatbag is a fantasy goatbag.

North has now threatened to fly to Milwaukee and denounce me to my denomination for exposing his fantasy schools and credential mills, and for my alleged attacks on the ICCC. He has defamed my denomination's seminary and my denomination's seminarians. He has attacked the families of other posters. He has defamed this board and all its participants elsewhere.

My name is well-known to most of you and my "handle" is my real-life nickname, well-known to my old friends off-camera.

To continue to allow this goatbagger the pretense of anonymity is silly.

  Nice Argument About Christology

But seriously folks, who gives a rats ass?

He asked us to accept him as our saviour and to spread his word. Sounds OK by me. That's what I bought into.

It's interesting to see three sides of the Christology argument, all of whom have the same opinion, arguing fine semantic points to create a disagreement. Then they can kill each other with a clear conscience, at least they did 1,500 years ago.

  I'd Really Like to Know
Posted by: Whatever - 10-09-2007, 09:16 AM - Forum: John Bear - Replies (6)

I know what is written in these "guides" and their lack of any apparant value, but what I'd REALLY like to know if if ANY school GUARANTEES that their degrees can be used for ANYTHING the student desires.

Do ANY schools (such as U of Phoenix, WGU, etc) actually say their degrees will be accepted anywhere, for any use, OR do they have DISCLAIMERS saying there may be limitations.

If there are disclaimers, has anyone seen one?
