10. What's happening at the AED Newsgroup ?

Newsgroup alt.education.distance is a forum to discuss distance education
issues, ideas, and concerns. It is not a commercial forum for people who
sell educational software and other products and services. Commercial
messages are not welcome. Universities often use the newsgroup to describe
new programs, and this is certainly appropriate.

Telling people where to email or write for additional details such as
tuition schedules, is the best way to keep an informational post from
becoming a commercial one. Similarly, DL educational consultants are
encouraged to identify themselves as such, especially in their signature
lines, but interested potential customers should "take it to email."

There is another newsgroup, alt.binaries.education.distance where HTML
files, and other graphic files relevant to distance education can be
posted. When you post here, please alert the readers at
alt.education.distance of the existence of your offering.

The two newsgroups are designed to complement one another, but remember
that some news servers do not keep binary newsgroup content live for very
long.

Netiquette (good online manners) includes these suggestions:

* Write with brevity and on-topic

* Warn of extra long posts in the subject line so that those with slow
modems may choose to avoid them

* Don't "shout" in capital letters, please. *Asterisks* are the preferred
means of emphasizing words. Some people use underline _ marks _ to show
emphasis.

* Flaming, or insulting and rude posting is very disruptive. So is flaming
flamers. Kindness and professionalism is appreciated by all.

* Do not post any material not written by you without express permission of
the original author. When in doubt assume the existence of a copyright. Of
course, posting an excerpt from a post you are replying to is not only
legal, it is an efficient way to communicate. Repeat only those parts of
the post that are relevant, however, so as not to waste everyone's time.

* Please remember that electronic communication does not benefit from
clarifiers such as body language or voice tones, etc., so be cautious with
the use of sarcasm and humor to avoid being misunderstood

At the time of preparing AED FAQ V8.0, questions from those visiting the
FAQs remain very much to do with the source and availability of DL programs
in a variety of subjects.

Greenwich University, founded as a US "state licensed (no recognized
accreditation)" university with Dr. John Bear as president at one time, has
been in the news a lot since its move to Norfolk Island, Australia. This is
because with a proper legal footing in Australia, Greenwich University
would become an internationally recognized (and therefore accredited)
university whereas it was not in Hawaii under the regime of US
accreditation.

Berne University, another school without recognized US accreditation has
also been in the news, due to its location in St. Kitts and Nevis, a
country independent since 1983 located in the Caribbean and part of the
British Commonwealth. Apparently in a recent decision, Berne University has
been accepted as a foreign school by the US DoEd.

Readers of the Newsgroup may wish to e-mail the FAQ maintainers listed
here, and are invited to do so if they want their questions or comments to
be considered privately.


11. What information and reference sources can I use ?

There is one DL resource that has helped hundreds of DL students for years,
and needs to be listed here. Dr. E's Eclectic Compendium of Electronic
Resources in Adult and Distance Education by Dr. Jill H. Ellsworth, a
university professor, lists e-journals, listservs, mailing lists, and more,
and can be found at http://www.oak-ridge.com/topeoip1.html

**Web Site URLs

Here are a few Web URLs (listed by classifications) for universities and
colleges worldwide with DL programs, and to online resources such as
virtual libraries.

No one makes any assurance of quality. It is up to YOU to determine the
value, if any, of each site for your own needs. If you have an addition for
this list to be included in the FAQ's next update, please send it to one of
the FAQ maintainers. It would be helpful if you put the words "FAQ URL
ADDITION" in the "subject" line. To print out this list with or without the
HTML coding, visit the DL FAQ and DL Booklist homepage at
