Review:

This was a great program. I learned a lot about teaching, learning, distance learning and instructional design. This is not a techie degree -- this degree will give you principles that you can apply to teaching and learning with technology and online. I still use the principles and tools I learned in this program. There were some instructors that I found difficult (I think a few were working too many jobs at once) but this just proves the contention that the online experience is just as human as the offline. The admin support of this program is just incredible -- very fast, responsive, and helpful. The instructors are all really good -- this program gave me a chance to experience a wide variety of teaching styles. The degree has allowed me to teach in colleges as an adjunct, work as a free-lance educational consultant, and get a full-time instructional designer position at a community college.
