Suggestions on elearning degree courses in San Francisco Bay Area?

Hi,

Are you only interested in on-campus programs?  It may be hard to find one in your area.  I'm not sure what level of education you're seeking, but you may want to consider an online program from an accredited university.  You can check http://idhunter.com/ for a list of fully online graduate certificates in instructional design, online teaching, e-learning, and related fields.  Graduate certificates are linked to Master's degree programs you can browse too.  Hope this helps!

I'd highly recommend ASTD's training programs honestly. I recently did the ASTD Advanced E-Learning Instructional Design certificate and absolutely loved it. They offer some in person classes as well, and I'm sure San Francisco (or other parts of Northern Cal) would be hubs for those.

For project management, I'd recommend looking into the PMI institute and getting certs and training through there. It is what most companies look for. 

Those two combined will open plenty of doors for you without sinking money into a degree program.

Otherwise, I'd combine that training with an MBA for project management, or even adult education. There isn't a lot out there yet for e-learning specifically and a lot of the time they seem to be for Moodle type of trainings. My alma mater North Carolina State University does offer an online E-Learning Graduate Certificate. 

Thanks for your inputs Justin and Rachel.

I have found a suitable option here which allows me to work while being enrolled as a student. I found a good programme at UCSC extension.

Hi,

If you're interested in taking a look at another highly rated program, San Diego State offers very good graduate and certificate programs for remote students. They have a wide variety of elective courses that involve real projects with companies. Of course, UCSC has a good program too.
