Internet Education

Goal: To help people with schizophrenia, who often have difficulty leaving their home, to have access to valuable educational resources.

Estimated Time Commitment: Total project time is probably about 50 hours, so if it is divided by 4 people, it is about 12 hours each total, plus maybe a bit more.

There are a few schools that we already know provide online resources, and even degress in some instances, such as UCLA, Berkeley and others, but we'd like to find more. The best method for doing this is probably just good old fashioned brute force, meaning that you should just keep searching on the major search engines, (yahoo, excite, etc.) for online classes and we'll just put up whatever good links you find. Also, if you could write a short summary of each program you find mentioning some of the specifics of the program such as, specialties, cost, equipment required, strength of faculty (is it a profressor or just a professional in a related field), possible degrees conferred, accreditation, average time commitment and any other details that seem important. I don't know how many different programs are out there, but i'd like to have a minimum of fifteen links as a result of this project and hopefully many more. It would also be good if the people who do this project keep checking back periodically to see if new programs are being offered so that we can stay up to date.
