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.
