In fact, trying to do that is what leads so many instructors to the conclusion that online learning doesn't work. It does work, but for the right people when you have the right tools. Those people don't often find our brick and mortar adult ed programs, but they might if we promoted to them specifically as a target market. <br /><br />If adult ed programs don't broadcast the fact that we have credible web-based adult ed services to help "get my degree online" then we leave millions to fall prey to the deluge 13,000 advertisements from predatory diploma mills. There are creative ways to appeal to the interests of the 40 million or so people out there who need ABE/GED instruction. It's not about making square pegs fit into round holes, it's about meeting people where they're at and helping them improve their skills by whatever means available.

What if we got them into the door, first? There are real barriers to online learning and maybe one of our problems is that if students run into those barriers, we lose 'em. <br />SiouxGeonzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14852040976080951492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349468976448373414.post-82778123377067865682013-03-05T23:59:12.645-05:002013-03-05T23:59:12.645-05:00What a great example.

Have you considered going into the lion's den of diploma mill scams and posting credible information? It's worth a try. Real knowledge can go viral where people are starved for the truth. Come to think of it, I may need to write a blog about that phenomenon.
