I received an email today from
Gala University to teach ESL online. I'm not familiar with them, but I'm in the process of learning about them. I thought I'd share the link with you. It shows how online education is becoming more popular and illustrates one method of a payment structure.
Of course, one needs to keep their guard up. While there are many online education resources available, you want to make sure they are legit. If you are interested in a degree, make sure the teaching entity is certified.
Online education has its benefits and fills a need. It allows students to learn at their own pace and in the privacy of their own home. You can learn from anywhere in the world.
A few years ago, I was taking an online course from Brown University. The instructor asked why we chose to learn online. One student provided a novel answer - he was in the traveling cast of Phantom of the Opera. Online courses were the only way that he could continue his education.
