This e-MBA program has actually forced interaction among classmates, which in turn spawns new ideas, and further interaction. The interaction created here also has provided a really great backstop for support. When you need help, it's there for you from the others in the class or the instructors. It's just a great way to keep in touch - to learn. The opportunities in distance education of this type are so extreme.
Distance education provides a huge potential and huge benefit.
It comes down to one word accessibility. It reinforces that education will be more available to more people which reinforces why you better get on it to stay competitive. Beyond the quality of the faculty is the value in the delivery method of the program. I'm sold on the distance learning concept, and for all sorts or reasons. It's also the key to flexibility in the program.
