Online javascript courses?
Hi are there any good online javascript courses? I didn’t like the w3schools one, something like http://www.jast.co.uk/intro.html but I can’t find registration details on it. Any one?
Jere answers:
I would highly recommend any of the Eclasses support by the International Webmasters Association/HTML Writers Guild. I have taken a number of their course so can recommend them from personal experience.
They run a series of course specifically targetted at web professionals/novices covering design/devlopment/project management. The courses are online and run by people who are actually working in the business.
You can join a class as a non-member but it is more cost effective to enrol as a member and take advantage of the discounted price.
Costs vary between $60 to $140 dollars for members and run for 6 to 8 weeks depending on the course you choose.

Online college courses???
Are they good? Are they bad? helpful feedback appreciated
Jere answers:
It depends on the college and on the course. Some colleges distance ed courses are better than others. You do lose a lot of the interaction with the professor which can make the course more difficult. You cannot get immediately get answers to questions like you could if you attended a lecture.
I took several classes distance ed while I was in college. Some were decent (human resources). I had to drop others and take them on campus (business law).
The easiest classes to take online are usually the general education classes.
Paul asks…
Is there a FREE online course for GED or HS diploma?
I need my diploma and I cannot go to night school or afford a fee based program. Clicked on many that say free, but they are not. Does anyone know of a free fast program online where I could write the test and be done with it, or take a course online for free?
Jere answers:
No, online schools are businesses. And most of them are scams – you can get an online diploma, but avoid the ones that claim you’ll be done in less than a few years, and makes sure they are regionally accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by the US Dept of Education. All online GED programs or any single test to get a diploma are scams; avoid those sites.
Mark asks…
online course?
can you tell me where i can get the free online course of spoken english, business, marketing, IT or investing?
Jere answers:
Get all 3, in FREE Books.. These are NOT old books, they are still in copyright and they are legal reads.
New Free Books… Look for “Go It Alone” about business and “Strunk’s Elements of Style” about English.
Steven asks…
Online College Courses?
I’m trying to look into taking some college courses online, I am currently enrolled in a four year institution and will have enough credits to be considered a sophomore this summer. I have almost completed all of my required courses and will began moving into courses for my major in the fall.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a college campus with a bachelors program in Mass Communication (concentration in journalism) or with just a bachelors in Journalism (prefer this more).
Also if you have more information on how online classes work that would be great because I don’t know much. Can I still finish my regular required courses online as well or do I have to be fully into my major.
-Thanks in advance

There are tons of traditional schools, colleges, and universities offering full programs online. Check out your state colleges to see what they have. This site has a listing of schools offering online degrees by state. Http://www.distancelearningalliance.com
The key is to make sure the college/university is accredited. I have three basic recommendations for everyone looking into online/distance education. They all have to do with exploring; after all, you have to defend your assets.
1. Make certain that you have triple checked their accreditation. First, they tell you what it is, then you go to that accrediting body’s website (not through the link provided by the school), and thirdly you would visit the department of education to see what they have to say. Do your diligent research into the institutions once you have narrowed down to a couple. You can look at the Better Business Bureau for more information on the college.
2. You must have extreme self motivation and be able to teach yourself per say. This means that you will not have someone telling you verbally, so it is up to you to get the information from the course room, text, and other resources. The best way to look at it is like a guided independent study course.
3. Review your goals, personal and professional. Make sure that the school that you are going to offers the programs that match your goals. Do not settle. There are many programs that are similar, but you have to make the ultimate decision. Do not let it be based on finances and length of program, but the fact that when you are finished or near finished you will be able to assume your proper place in the career field sought.
There are many traditional universities offering degrees that can be earned through online methods. Distance Learning Alliance has a list of these traditional online schools. Look at that if you are truly concerned with the name of the school. Good luck on your search!
