Abstract (Document Summary)
An estimated 1.2 million students in the United States seven percent of all post-secondary students - enrolled in wholly online degree programs in 2005 (the most recent statistics available), says Mindy Hershberger, a research analyst specializing in online education at Eduventures, LLC, a Boston research and consulting firm for the education industry. "Changes in the U.S. and world economies have raised the importance of lifelong learning for those in the workforce," says James Hambnght, vice president of marketing, communications and enrollment at UMUC. The prevalence of high-speed Internet access though cable or DSL (digital subscriber lines that provide digital data transmission over telephone lines) instead of dial-up has also led to online education programs' use of easy-to-access, rich media, including online video, live chat sessions with peers and professors, and live audio to create a quality learning experience for their students.

Joe Frederick, First Amendment Idol
Just Added:Nat, Hentoff. "Joe Frederick, First Amendment Idol." The Village Voice 52 (2007): 1-16. 23 Apr. 2007.
Undaunted, the student cited his First Amendment rights, whereupon the principal grabbed the banner, mashed it to the ground, and, on the spot, suspended Joe for five days for-as she and the school board claimed-promoting drug use and thereby violating the school's basic educational mission.

Anonymous. "Internationalizing the Undergraduate Curriculum." PS, Political Science & Politics Jan. 2007. Proquest.
To be of relevance, political science needs to approach global politics and the issues the global context raises through a lens the insights and techniques these papers offer can help construct. The APSA Committee on Internationalizing the Undergraduate Curriculum (Christine Ingebritsen (chair), University of Washington; Mark Cassell, Kent State University; Steven Lamy, University of Southern California; David Mason, Butler University; Pamela Martin, Carolina Coastal University; and Deborah Ward, Selon Hall University) aims to encourage political science as a discipline to think through how to teach in this new, global world. The primary audiences of concern for their Global Education Initiative are high-school students, college students, radio listeners, and newspaper readers.

Mangan, Katherine S. "University and Foundation Create Online MBA for the Deaf." The Chronicle of Higher Education 47 (2001): a39-a39. Abstract. The Chronicle of Higher Education 25 (2001): a39. Proquest.
DeSales University and a technology foundation are teaming up to develop what they believe will be the nation's first online MBA program for students who are deaf or hard of hearing. The Pennsylvania university, which changed its name in January from Allentown College of St. Francis De Sales, plans to begin operating the program this fall.
Attitudes have changed since the advent of the Web. Schools of all kinds are much more likely to understand the benefits of extending their learning experience beyond campus walls. Perhaps the most well-publicized effort in this area is the OpenCourse-Ware program first established by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). MIT now posts the course notes and study materials for over 1,500 of its courses online. Add to that an almost uncountable number of schools that have begun offering distance-learning over the Web for a fee. No question distance education has mushroomed.

Abstract (Document Summary)
Recognizing that improvement in online education requires a better understanding of learning process, it is argued that online educators should concentrate on a level of organization higher than that of email, discussion boards and learning objects that a number of authors (e.g., Miller, Shrivastava) have called "learning management." Thus we may replace the traditional role of the instructor (content delivery) by new roles of "instructional designer" to create courses and "learning manager" to deliver them. The core competence of both these new education professions is to combine a broad understanding of educational technology with a deep knowledge of learning. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]

Anonymous. "Online Schools Under Scrutiny by Colorado Education Panel." Diss. 2007. Abstract. Education Week 26 (2007): 21.
Hoping to avoid a showdown with lawmakers, the Colorado state board of education convened its own task force last week to recommend changes to online education, following a scathing state audit that criticized some programs as being poorly supervised and ineffective. (See Education Week, Dec. 20, 2006.)
