Knowledge, Learning, Community

The fact that eCampusOntario exists is good, and probably well overdue. And yeah, you can search for (say) all the online courses offered by colleges and universities in Ontario. I tried it out, searching for philosophy courses, and got back my results instantly. But the problem is, they're college and university courses, and this is where the usefulness ends. Even when I search for 'fully online' courses, the best I can get when I click on 'Enrol' is some generic information, because there's this whole process you have to go through before you can take a course. And courses that started a month ago. And, of course, tuitions in the hundreds of dollars. But, you know, the listings show what we could have available to us, if we opened up the process, and focused on making these courses more affordable. See also Colleges Ontario.
