    Question Have you taken any education classes on-line?

    If so what have you taken? Will you take more?

    I have taken a total of 4 classes online - 2 through the University of MN (very good, but difficult not being "in class") and 2 through Jones International University (www.jiu.com).

    The one thing I would have to say about online classes is that they require a lot of discipline and it's difficult if the class isn't very structured.

    I'd be interested in that, but no I haven't done any.

    I haven't, but I would if given the opportunity.

    I took an investing class online, it wasn't for credit or anything, just my own enrichment. It was a good course, but wasn't very structured and I had to be very disciplined to do the required reading.

    I was thinking about taking an art class on-line. I have taken a free Barnes & Noble On-Line class. It was OK.

    I have recently taken short classes online to get CEU's needed to renew my Activity Director certification. Actually, I'm not sure I'd really consider them classes, but that's what they were called~ you read a long article and then took a test over the material to earn your credits.

    I'd love to, but my school district will only reimburse us for classes we take in person. So, as of yet, no online classes.
