  5. "Mega" entries?
  6. more...

Do We Add

Here is Sara's old "Do We Add" list as posed to Paul in 2008. Some of the items below are not programmes but are lists themselves. Do I pull these institutions from the lists? Etc. Actually, there are some notes below as well... this list is rather outdated but most questions still stand.

From 11/2008:

  • Items Sara emailed Paul about, e.g. those in Japan Report (see new section below)
  • Laureate Education (i.e. Sylvan) -- added
  • Career Education (similar)
  • Fédération Interuniversitaire de l’Enseignement à Distance - FIED (Karran)
  • From InnoUniLearning:
    • Wirtschaft university, vienna

**Univ. Porto - under Major e-learning initiatives in Portugal

    • University Claude Bernard Lyon 1 (UCBL)
    • Institut d’Administration des Entreprises de Caen (Institute of Corporation
    • ENIC Lille
  • Various from Laura Czerniewicz reports (sent to Paul)
  • Items at http://www.eden-online.org/eden.php?menuId=402&contentId=717
  • Per geteducated.com email from Paul: The Top 12 Best Online Management Masters degrees, all available at a cost under $21,000 are offered by: #1 University of Missouri Columbia ($9,854); #2 Mountain State University ($11,700); and #3 University of Missouri Columbia ($11,700).
  • CSU Global (CO) (do we care?)
  • The eLearning industry and market in Europe - Lot 1: Appendix to Synthesis Report by Jane Massy
  • All from Canada country report?
  • Colombia country report - I cannot evaluate, all sites in Spanish
  • Denmark country report - many listed with no real weighting - add all?
  • Germany country report - I cannot evaluate, most sites in German
  • Removed concordia (estonia) - now merged into other institution, info hard to locate.

From 1/2009:

  • Campus Numerique (France) as referenced in the Science Mag article - not sure there is a single body to consider a "programme" here

Other List of Questions Emailed

Now largely outdated.

  • Do you feel that ALL occurrences of abbreviations should redirect to the full programme names, with the actual content residing under the full name page? (e.g. move the UKeU content to a full name page, with the abbreviation page set as a redirect only?) Also, should we "activate" ALL abbreviation links, i.e. on the programmes list *and* within each programme page? Where they occur in country pages, etc?
  • Should new additions have glaring relevance to Re.ViCa (i.e. distance learning oozing from their pores already) or is it enough that <name> mentions a recent visit to meet with their dean? [this question is in reference to emails c. 10/2008]
  • ...I am contemplating how to decide whether institutions already named in reports like [the one in Paul's Japan Report email] should be added to the programmes list. For example, it sounds like some of the Japanese universities have very serious e-learning initiatives underway. In fact I often spot examples listed in country reports which do not (yet?) have entries in our programmes list. Would we say that, if it is mentioned anywhere in the wiki, it requires at least a stub? [semi-outdated question as of 1/2009]

"prisoner education" project is too far out of bounds for our purposes?
