Are there any good and free online classes for learning foreign languages?

My native language is English, and I took some French in high school. I am interested in intro's to German, Spanish, and perhaps a Latin Class.

What are the advantages of distance learning education? Anyone taking online classes?

Hi all,
I have a plan to do MBA from an online college, but before taking admission I want to know about the advantages of distance learning education so I can see if it’s best for me. I’ve never done it before and it will be a major decision in my life. Please help if you have any information on this. Thanks for your help.

Distance learning are for people who have difficulties / choose not to attend regular classes due to various reasons. One of the main reasons though, is often because you want to study while working. Do you fall into this category?

Distance learning takes lots of dicipline - and also a certain level of maturity in taking charge of your learning. Not many people can do it, but for some it may be the only way of studying. Distance learning has lots of advantages - you can do it anytime, anywhere. You can also pace your studies according your own time. Some people do not like the confines of a classroom - distance learning is perfect for such a person.

However, if you are more of a "I need someone to teach me, and I need to discuss this new lesson with some of my buddies in a group study environment" - distance learning may not be for you.

True, in today's distance learning environment you can do collaborative studies via online discussion forums and bulletin boards - but that lacks the personal touch and the buzz of being around a group of real people "physically".

My suggestion is that if you can afford to attend a regular class, go ahead and do it. If the situation is such that you can only attend a distance learning course, then it's fine too but you might have to change the way you study and quicly adapt to a virtual learning environment - which may not be that difficult if you have the right personality trait. Good luck!

What accredited California colleges offer classes online/distance learning?

I was going to attend Axia college/University of Phoenix, but since I heard such bad things about the college and how employers won't take me seriously, I have no idea where to go now.
I want to get my bachelor's in business administration or accounting, anything secretary related and such.

The nice people at CalState system put up a search tool for you. http://odp.csusuccess.org/odp_finder

UC system was nice enough to do the same. http://www.cvc.edu/students/courses

If you're going to do it online, why does it matter where the school is? You can take courses at Harvard and Oxford online (and UC-Berkeley) if you want to. The really nice thing about online learning is that you aren't bound by where you are.

The online program search tool at Petersons.com is very useful for this sort of search. http://www.petersons.com/distancelearni ... search.asp

Colleges are adding online programs all the time though - sometimes you find the best programs by searching the web of schools that you like and seeing what they offer.

UC-Berkeley does an online certificate in accounting for example that is VERY well respected (and very hard). http://www.unex.berkeley.edu/cert/accounton.html

Teachers: Where do you "go" online for distance learning classes for college credits? Teachers: Where do you "go" online for distance learning classes for college credits?

I recently received my Master's Degree through Walden University. It is a completely online program. You read textbooks and articles, watch DVD's by the authors of the books and teachers of prestigious schools, write answers on an online bulletin board, and write a weekly paper or two of only a couple pages each. The best part of the program is that you use the knowledge immediately in the classroom. The students benefit. You benefit. And then, when you are all done, you get paid more. I also found it to be one of the least expensive programs that I researched. Definitely check this out. Very current theories and practices.

Online learning free classes?

For free online courses that will count towards your diploma go through your school board if they offer them! Good luck
