Western Governors University, the only all-online teachers college to earn NCATE accreditation, is now enrolling students for its new B.A. in Early Childhood Education degree program. The program, which focuses on development and education of children from birth through third grade, provides a degree and certification path for individuals who are currently working with young children as well as those who wish to become teachers in daycare centers, preschools, and primary elementary school grades.
Despite the growing need for degreed professionals in this field, online programs are rare, and WGU offers the only all-online bachelor's degree program designed to prepare students for initial licensure as classroom teachers. For many individuals who are currently working in daycare centers and preschools, work schedules, family obligations, and finances make it difficult, if not impossible, to attend a conventional college or university to earn a degree. WGU provides these individuals -- as well as those who want to start a career or change careers -- an affordable, accessible, and practical way to meet their educational goals.
WGU's Teachers College is one of the nation's largest teacher preparation schools, with students in all 50 states. Its unique competency-based model is ideal for working adults who have professional experience and prior education, allowing them to complete their degrees more quickly without compromising quality.

Academic Earth world-class education Online
Academic Earth is an organization dedicated to making world-class education available to everyone in the world. Their initial efforts involve making available videos of courses from the materials that major universities have already made available through programs such as MIT Open Courseware and Open Yale Courses. The nice thing is that it seems to act as a central location for viewing all of these materials, rather than having to jump between the websites maintained by different universities.
What they say -:
Academic Earth is an organization founded with the goal of giving everyone on earth access to a world-class education.
As more and more high quality educational content becomes available online for free, we ask ourselves, what are the real barriers to achieving a world class education? At Academic Earth, we are working to identify these barriers and find innovative ways to use technology to increase the ease of learning.
We are building a user-friendly educational ecosystem that will give internet users around the world the ability to easily find, interact with, and learn from full video courses and lectures from the world’s leading scholars. Our goal is to bring the best content together in one place and create an environment that in which that content is remarkably easy to use and in which user contributions make existing content increasingly valuable.
We invite those who share our passion to explore our website, participate in our online community, and help us continue to find new ways to make learning easier for everyone.
