Some Recent Blogger Mentions of UMassOnline

Posted on December 13, 2007 by Jennifer Brady

Happily, this isn’t the only blog where you can find commentary about UMassOnline from time to time. Here are a few other mentions of us from individual bloggers I found on a recent visit to the blogosphere.

Here’s one, for example, at a blog called e-Learning Pundit (recently added to our blogroll), in which the author, identified as Paul, discusses his positive impression of a course that leads to a certificate in online journalism and which is offered through UMassOnline. Among other things, he says, “I like the fact that the entire faculty brings real-world experience to the virtual classroom.”

Coincidentally, here’s another blog by a person who is taking the online journalism course. In a post entitled, “OOPS I blogged,” this individual notes: Well one thing is for sure when I mess up I do not make small messes because you are reading this 4 months early. I am taking a journalism class via UMass online which is supposed to help me learn how to blog. It looks to me, from looking at this blog, that the learning is taking place very nicely.And here’s a third. This one is from a 25-year-old woman considering her continuing education options. About UMassOnline and UMass in general she writes: The good thing about UMass online degrees, they are 100% fully accredited and you get a degree from the UMass that you are admitted to. For example, the one I am looking at would be UMass Lowell. That’s pretty darn sweet if you ask me. I’ve always liked UMass…pretty sure I had a UMass hoodie when I was younger.

I also have to make note of a comment posted: I’m excited that you’re looking at going back to school, too! Going to UMass online would be great, Jen, what a great option. Everyone keeps telling me not to worry so much about the financial end of school, just to find the program and degree I like and apply. The money pays itself back many times over with the doors it opens for work.
