According to Eduventures, which conducts research in education marketing, by the end of 2006 there will be close to 1.5 million students taking part in online higher education programs. Given that online learning has rapidly grown into such big business, it is important that if you are desirous of obtaining information about the subject, you visit the right online resources. Websites and blogs that publish fresh and unbiased reviews are any day a better alternative to marketing sites posing as content sites.
These sites are very often managed by colleges that purportedly offer high quality online education. If you cannot get in touch with someone who has an online degree to his name, there are a few genuine resources on the internet. These include www.geteducated.com and www.oedb.net
