Heather Dowd's List: Online Learning Portals

I really like the 8 steps to get started on the right side. The graph that compares Parkland tuition to other online learning institutions is very effective.

I like that the main marketing points are on the main page. The "chat with us" and "let us call you" are great features.

This is a consortium of 13 community colleges in Colorado. Might be the equivalent of ILCCO. What stood out to me was that you can earn a degree through the consortium by taking online classes at various institutions.

Waubonsee's portal doesn't particularly stand out to me, but I do like the link to the "Distance Learning Help Blog". It doesn't look like they've been posting much, but I like the idea.

Good idea to have a link to "Is online learning for you?" or some such resource. After you click on a degree program, I like the break down of options on right side...however, that is more relevant if you have degree programs.
