I earned an Master of Education and Human Development in Educational Technology Leadership through The George Washington University. I have had many positive comments about the rigor of the program vs. that of other schools offering similar degrees, and the degree has really aided me in securing consulting positions with the Alaska Department of Education, becoming a Cadre Trainer for MarcoPolo Internet Content for the Classroom, and establishing a business with my husband.
As I proceeded through the program, it was necessary to visit my school district main office and the techs there were very pleased at the projects I had to complete and the level of preparation I had. I could easily work downtown if I wanted to give up my summers off (no way!) and I am called on a few times a year to conduct training.
So, to summarize, the exclusively online delivery of the degree has actually been a positive, given that the delivery method tied in with my degree area. How much easier it is to design online courses, delivery methods and online communities having experienced it all firsthand. Perhaps that would make my experience the exception, but I thought it applicable here nonetheless.
