Talk:University of London Worldwide

message: Whoever this UOFLER (works for the university?) was, when she/he revamped the EP page, that person has the foresight to refer to the OU as well. As I mentioned in my revision, since both OU and London EP ARE DISTANCE LEARNING PROVIDERS, it is only logical to speak of them in the same breath. After all, there are the premier distance education providers in the world. Hence, I see no reasons why the OU link should be removed. Furthermore, one of the other previous users (203.218.143.182) did say that “wikipedia is encyclopedic (shouldn’t it be written as: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia?),” it ought to include as much relevant facts as possible.
OU Link update
The OU link has been removed for the second time, possibly by the same person using different IP addresses. I just don’t understand why would someone be so narrow-minded and refuses to act rationally 24.89.227.217 04:51, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The addition of the OU Link 

message: We do we need an OU link? Is a link to distance learning not enough?--Duncan 10:28, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So why not improve the distance learning page? (Just to clarify, I am not the same person as anyone else)--Duncan 11:48, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Improving the distance learning page is certainly a viable option. But the issue is muted unless someone else takes the time to do a comprehensive update on the distance learning page. When I look at the users’ comments on the distance learning page, my impression is that revamping that page would be just as futile as to convince the same user of this page not to remove the OU link on a continuous basis. In the meantime, I believe that restoring the OU link on the London EP page remains as a practical solution.(Note: yes, I’ve pretty much figured it out that you weren’t the user who made the same unilateral change on the OU link again and again. Thanks for coming out though.)24.222.164.251 17:48, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why an OU link? 

message: "The University of London has also encouraged the LSE and University College London to apply successfully for their own degree-awarding powers."
That does not sound right. Why would University of London encourage them to leave. Unsigned comment. 
:They have not been encouraged to leave; they have been encouraged to apply successfully for their own degree-awarding powers. That's not the same as leaving. For example, KCL has issued its own degree, the AKC for its entire life.--Duncan 07:39, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: recent edits

message: I completed a major overhaul of the entry not too long ago.  I penned a new history of the External Programme, and fleshed out a long list of famous alumni, including three Nobel Prize winners.  I documented every claim, providing links to at least one, sometimes two or three, articles or websites that back up each claim.

thread_title: New Logo

message: The Exteneral program offers the same degrees as the traditional program via distance education. So why are alumni marked down as alumni from the external program as if they are different? Why aren't they just listed as grads from the U of L?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.91.165.183 (talk) 18:28, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Because the external programme is effectively, for want of a better term, the "college" for them. Given the nature of the University it's useful to list people by which route they took the degree. Timrollpickering (talk) 14:32, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Why are alumni noted as External alumni?

message: Could someone please help me here. I'm trying to find out more about these POW's studying but the link provided as a source on this page (Tatum Anderson, "History lessons at the people's university," Guardian Weekly, May 16, 2007) is dead. All I can find through searching the web on my own is the university of London itself and its brief mention. Would anyone happen to know of where I can find this article archived or perhaps something else on this subject?--Him and a dog 13:19, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Bot report : Found duplicate references ! 

message: As a Registered student I should make the following clear: There is no distance learning involved. UoL external students only pay for registration and examination fees. No tuition is taking place. That was the traditional conception of UoL programme: You pay fees for your right to sit high standard exams by a prestigious organization and possibly end up with a respected degree. You're either supposed to study on your own or attend whatever other institution you might find helpful. Unfortunately, UoL downplays this fact nowadays as it wants a piece of the 'distance learning' pie. But in reality 'distance learning' is irrelevant.  
Secondly, UoL external programme has no 'open' admission policy. 
Open Uni links, or links to other colleges that have appeared in the article were rightly removed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.73.34.178 (talk) 10:19, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
