Electronic learning edit
"Online degrees" is really NOT the same as electronic learning. I was referring to the fake degrees available for a cost. How can this redirection be removed and a new article started???
The entry online degrees is about accredited online degrees and how to know if an online degree is accredited. There already is a section about fake online degrees, it is under diploma mills. There is a link to diploma mills in the online degrees entry.
Article is US-centric edit
The article is very US-centric - needs rewriting to include the rest of the world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.59.122.11 (talk) 14:07, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
- I've done some rewriting to at least make it specify that it's talking about when United States when it's doing so rather than making sweeping generalizations based on US context. I don't know enough about the topic outside the US to really give it an actively global perspective, though. —chaos5023 (talk) 17:26, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
- After some research I found some citable material on the Open University of Catalonia. I'm going to pull the US-centricity tag, mainly because tags are ugly; more non-US material still seems highly desirable, though. —chaos5023 (talk) 17:57, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
Neutrality edit
The entire "Quality of Learning Online" section currently reads like a pamphlet that an online university might distribute to assure the public that an online degree is Serious Business (rather than the product of a diploma mill). Qualitative remarks such as "there is fundamentally little difference between [physical and online universities]" are completely unsourced. I don't have enough familiarity with the subject or information on hand to correct the bias myself. Only pointing out that it exists. --Rae (Talk | Contribs) 15:13, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
- I've revised that section to remove the most obvious unsourced WP:PEACOCK-type language, and removed the POV-check tag as hopefully complete. If you disagree that it's adequate as stands, please feel free to restore the tag. —chaos5023 (talk) 16:03, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
