This is a far more complicated question than you think, since a lot of online classes are taught at community colleges as well as universities, and if they are on a state-wide syllabus (as at Ivy Tech in Indiana, where I teach Interpersonal Communication and Public Speaking online as well as face to face). Are you referring then to programs only within B.A. programs? Best, Meryl -- J.

Haijun CC AoIR list My two cents worth from my experiences as a student at Carleton University in the first half of the 2000s is that Carleton offers a variety of courses from most faculties via television and have done this since the 1970's. Of course, in recent years this has become video on demand meaning you download the lectures as video. We have only a few online courses. One Geology course in Oceanography and Computer Ethics are the only two I know about that are purely online courses. I took the computer ethics course in 2000. Philosophy, first year psych, French, linguistics 101, are on your list I think (except I am substituting French for Spanish because I am in Canada.) The English courses offered are more along the lines of Shakespeare, Canadian fiction, the modern novel, the romantic novel, so more literary than practical writing courses but would be humanities courses but not a general intro to humanities course. Also along the lines of college business we have two accounting courses from first year on the regular TV schedule. I took a series of second year legal studies courses all by TV, private law, criminal law, public law. I also studied intro to legal studies on TV. In the early 2000's the hip professors and also law courses about the information age used newsgroups and then later blogs as course writing participation assignments. These marks wqere generally limited to 5 to 10% of the mark and IMHO were more ways of making an impression about ones engagement in the material. We also have regional nature studies and our first year chem TV course was one of the first free on iTunes. You can live anywhere in the world and study the VOD or tapes to you service from this school. www.carleton.ca Peter Timusk in Ottawa Canada -----Original Message----- From: air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org [mailto:air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org] On Behalf Of haijun Sent: August-31-10 5:52 PM To: air-l@aoir.org Subject: [Air-L] Any online general education courses Dear colleagues, Instead of doing a wild search, I'm coming here for help as this list has members around the world.
