...because the >$1,000,000 ad campaign resulting in 1 student enrolling was such a success?

I think offering online classes would be fantastic for anyone interested in going to school or going back to school. It is challenging for people in our area to afford college and finding housing in the metro areas can be very expensive.

I think it's a great idea!! Not everyone works at the right times to be able to attend classes. Online classes can be anytime, right?

Just think you now could use this as an excuse to just sit at home and collect your welfare check, no need to waste time driving to a local college. I get my education on a computer now, that Obama bought me and I don't need to start my my brand car up anymore. He say if I do good, he going to give me a government job, or at least a new cell phone.

O-no: The vast majority of online students are older reentry women and military spouses who are CA residents and cannot afford to attend college in the state or country where their spouse is stationed. Online female students are largely conservative. Without online classes these military wives (and a few husbands) would not get their degree. In fact, studies show women do better online than men; I rarely had a man in any online class and the male profs were overwhelmingly awful in that arena. Somehow they all believed as you do: that we were just a bunch of lazy freeloaders who couldn't bother to sober up to get to class. Don't tick off a large number of older, conservative women by calling them lazy drunks; the emails flew soon after and some profs lost their class next time around.

I not saying all on line education is bad, What I am saying is how many people from Calif are in a education programs, because welfare required the queens to look for a job or go to school, get real, if you think that does not happen.

runs to grab my Rough and Ready online degree as a security guard.
I think online education is great, ONCE one has the basics.

Wally, this is just too funny. I mean, this the most unsubstantiated, incoherent load. Hilarious! Colbert would love this.

I only know younger folks that take classes online. Did you get numbers on the streets of Sonora?

What?

Online education makes education more accessible.
