Becoming an online teacher must be much easier than managing a traditional classroom, right?
You may be surprised.
In my experience, many new online instructors are unprepared for the amount of work involved in becoming an online teacher. Online faculty must be ready to face many issues and all manner of student complaints. Among them: poor college readiness; students' personal crises; and the complex management of the online classroom process. Knowing how to handle all these issues, and many more, is critical to learning how to effectively manage an online classroom while staying sane!
Read on for a trained-in-the-trenches view from an experienced online teacher.

Earn an online bachelors degree in business and you’ll never have to worry about shuffling along in the unemployment line.
Well, maybe.  Adding a concentration in IT or finance is a great way to differentiate yourself from more generic, "vanilla" business degrees.

Career counselors have always plugged business degrees as safe investments. But surveys say a generic business bachelors is not the way to get the best business jobs and starting salaries. The best business jobs go to professionals who specialize in one of three majors: accounting, finance, or IT. Earn an online bachelors degree in business with one of these three concentrations and watch your career prospects — and salary level — soar.
“People in this kind of job market have their eyes open to skill sets, not just theoretical skills, but accounting, software ... things that have high value [to potential employers]” says Michael Jaeger, dean of the colleges of business and education at Eastern Oregon University. Jaeger oversees the online bachelors degree in business program at EOU.

- Master's of Business Administration in Healthcare (MBA)
- Master's in Public Health Administration (MPH)

 If Networking is Important to You, Definitely Opt for the Hybrid MBA
(MacKinnon Photography/flickr) Top residential business schools — we’re talking Duke University and the University of North Carolina’s Kenan-Flagler — are spawning online MBA programs at lightening pace. Yet every elite residential b-school has opted for an online hybrid MBA format. An online hybrid MBA delivers all courses on the web, but require spats of time on campus for what educators call “immersion experiences.” UNC Kenan-Flagler, for example, offers an online hybrid MBA program where all required courses are offered on the web, but online students are required to attend three-day immersion weekends at the beginning of each quarter of enrollment. (Attendance is required at two of these immersion experiences each enrollment year.) Attending an online hybrid MBA program that requires face-time can add up to $5,000 — travel, room and board, meals, time off work — to the sticker price of a distance degree.{{ad103}} Another possible hybrid bummer: You probably won’t be allowed to tap the company coffers to pay for that additional airfare and room and board required for those immersion experiences. Most corporate tuition assistance programs only reimburse for tuition. The big question: is b-school face time really worth that extra wad of cash? |

 Breivik Leaving Courthouse
(on-Are Berg-Jacobsen/AFP/Getty Images) According to reports published in the University World News, the worst mass murderer in Norwegian history, Anders Behring Breivik, funded his killing sprees by operating a fake diploma and college credentials business online. The fake diplomas were hand-crafted in Asia to look as if they had been issued by Ivy League universities in the USA. Breivik, the notorious gunman who killed 77 innocent young campers on Utoya Island, Norway, admits to having netted over a million dollars by running a racket that cranked out fake diplomas online. The fraud catered largely to buyers from the United States. Brejvik sold a reported 200 fake diploma packets a month to Internet shoppers. |
