章節(jié)摘錄
In particular, certificate programs, which issue documents of completion and sometimes an accreditation to students who have completed a specified course of study, are growing in enrollment by about 20% annually, says Jules LaPidus, president of the Washington-based Council of Graduate Schools, which represents 430 institutions. For those professionals in high-tech companies and accounting firms, as well as specialists in business management and international business, such quick-hit, targeted courses are crucial, LaPidus notes. But even doctors, artists and opera singers are going back to school for executive-education and high- tech courses. While most students are taking executive-education and continuing-education classes on university campuses, a growing number are studying far away from any grove of academe. Some are learning from videotapes, while others watch satellite lectures. But these methods of distribution are rapidly being overtaken by distance learning via the World Wide Web. Armed with a personal computer, a moderately fast modem, an Internet service provider and a Web browser, students can quickly gain access to all kinds of course material whenever they want. There are about 1,200 degree and certificate distance-learning programs available from about 900 accredited colleges, observes Karen Hansen, executive editor at Petersons, a Princeton N. J., education-and career-products publishing company that puts out the annual Petersons Guide to Distance Learning Programs. Petersons latest figures show that U. S. higher-education institutions offer distance-learning courses to more than 7 million students, according to spokeswoman Sue Brooks. Could distance learning ever replace traditional classroom education? You dont have to wait for the next century to answer this; you have to wait only until the fall. Western Governors University, a completely virtual college based in both Salt Lake City, Utah, and Denver, will be offering its first courses. Started by Governors from 18 Western states and encompassing the state universities in those areas, W. G. U. will initially offer continuing- education courses and associate degrees, says Jeff Edwards, marketing director for the school. There will be a concentration on information technology courses although at press time the catalog was still under development. Courses will be offered via the Web and satellite TV. Students from all over the world will be able to enroll in programs, which will cost anywhere from $ 300 to $ 700 each.
