Online Instructors using social media for learning in college lesson plans


Four out of five college instructors use social media such as Facebook, blogs and Twitter, according to a new survey by the Babson Survey Research Group in collaboration with New Marketing Labs and Pearson Learning Solutions.

Half of the 1,000 college faculty participating in the survey say they are using social media in the classroom
.  Podcasts, blogs, and wikis are the primary digital media used in the college lesson plans.

The social media benefits for online college faculty are greater than for face-to-face teachers because their only student interaction happens through the web. Younger faculty are only slightly more likely to use social media in the classroom than older faculty (those who have been teaching at least 20 years).

GetEducated.com Responds to WalletPop’s Factual Errors and Misinformation about the Company and the Online College Sector
About GetEducated  >  News Releases
By Vicky Phillips, GetEducated.com CEO/Founder   
 
Vicky  Phillips, GetEducated.com CEO/FounderMy name is Vicky Phillips, and I am the founder of GetEducated.com, a consumer watchdog group that has reported on online education for 21 years. We were very disappointed to read a WalletPop blog post this morning that contains multiple false accusations and factual errors about online education in general and GetEducated.com in particular.

In the interest of accuracy, which is notably lacking in Beau Brendler’s blog, we are taking the time to correct these factual errors for the public.



• GetEducated.com publishes consumer information that is editorially independent from ad influence.

• GetEducated.com offers free basic listings to all accredited online colleges; our directory is not, like at other sites, a lead generation mill that lists only paid clients.

• The majority of colleges listed in our directory have never had an ad relationship with our company.

• GetEducated.com accepts no ads or listings from unaccredited colleges or schools (a much higher ad standard than used by WalletPop or its parent company AOL/Time Warner).

Top States for Diploma Mills and Fake Degrees in the USHere's a list most states hope they never make. A list of the top 10 states if you want to safely operate a degree mill or a diploma mill.  Historically, phony online colleges crank out diplomas and college degrees at a dizzying pace in these ten states.{{LeftSponsor53}}

Sadly, the United States may lead the world in diploma mills, degree mills, and fake online colleges, according to a report by Verifile Limited, a United Kingdom firm.


Here is a list of the top 10 diploma mill states in the U.S.  According to Verifile these states may be home to the highest number of fake universities—unaccredited institutions of higher education—and unrecognized accrediting agencies:


1. California (134)
2. Hawaii (94)
3. Washington (87)
4. Florida (57)
5. Texas (53)
6. New York (44)
7. Louisiana (39)
8. Illinois (29)
8. (tie) Nevada (29)
10. Arizona (28)

California ranks #1 among degree mill states because the state has long allowed unaccredited colleges to legally operate and award degrees.
