I'm looking into doing a BA--at the ripe old age of 41, and after being a Christian for 25 years now--at a Bible college in London, England: London Bible College.
Do any of you have any experience with a Bible college education via distance-learning; you know, doing everything by snail-mail correspondance or over the Net?
If so, let me know, okay! Feel free to email me (just see my profile) or post here.
Thanks,
Starkman

| Posted 6/24/2002 3:55 AM (GMT -6) | | I have only taken one course at a distance. The rest of my MA was in residence. I had a great experience with the online course. Content was great and the method of delivery, Blackboard, was great.
I am going to be teaching a course next year in a traditional format. I am going to mix in some elements of online delivery as I like how the online format levels the playing field. I am using online discussion boards. I see these as helping to foster discussion and helping to include students who, like me, do not say much in class but have a lot to offer in writing.
The online format also makes me more accessible since my students can post a note on the discussion board or send an email whenever they want.
This may have been more than you were looking for, but I vote for distance ed with some traditional elements mixed in.
There are a bunch of opportunities. Make sure you find a good, accredited institution. I did a lot of my early work from the distance education arm of North Central University back in the days before online work became the rage. It was good material.
BTW, make sure you realize that distance work requires self-discipline and self-motivation. Also, often you are required to find access to a good local academic, theological library.
I would be happy to share more thoughts. Feel free to email me.
Blessings,
Greg

| Posted 6/24/2002 4:03 AM (GMT -6) | | Thanks TGB and Greg.
I'm most interested in London Bible College at the moment--checked out Global University a while ago--and it (LBC) is accredited by the Charter of Higher Education, the UK's accredidation system.
Wow! A local theological library, eh! Well, out here in the Alexandria area of Minnesota, that's going to be tough! I'm hoping this doesn't become too much of an issue, but I'm sure I'll run into some snags.
Otherwise, we'll see!
Mucho gracie!
