Anyone know of simular Undergraduate courses available in the UK or via internet with no attendance?

Clare, the University of Washington E-Learning Design and Development Certification program (Professional and Continuing Ed.) takes place completely online. I completed the program last year and we had participants from all over the US and from other countries. Maybe that would be an option for you.
Hello Tess Farley, thanks for that list, want to ask if you know any institution in Sweden and/or Canada offering same degree, i mean instructional design and e-Learning program. Thanks.
I am another Boise State IPT Master's graduate. This was a solid program with much more than just instructional design principles. It teaches how to determine what the cause of performance discrepancies are, and then to apply the right tool. If the right tool is instruction, you also learn how to apply it in a way that makes sense to the learner.
I'm embarrassed to admit this but though I've been working as an e-learning developer for six years, I never completed college and don't have a bachelors.
Does anyone know if any of the certificate programs don't require a bachelors?
The University of Wisconsin-Stout offers a completely online graduate certificate in Instructional Design. The credits can be applied to the M.S. in Education, which is also online. There are 4 courses, each 3 credits. More information is available at: http://www.uwstout.edu/soe/profdev/instructionaldesigncert.cfm
Hi everyone. I have two question about certificate programs.
I've come to find that most if not all universities require that you've completed a 4 year degree to participate in their programs. Does anyone know of an online university certificate program that does NOT require a 4 year degree?
What is everyone's opinion of ASTD's certificate programs? How would they compare to a university based program?
The U of Washington's elearning design and development program prefers but does not require a college degree. My colleague successfully completed the program with only a high school diploma. It is all online.
I need a campus based Master in Instructional Technology or Educational Technology. Do we have any community member with a master in technology education campus based to recommend a school for me. Thank you folks
I've been looking into this and found that Bellevue University has an accelerated undergrad program for adult education. It doesn't look elearning-specific, but it's an option for anyone in need of their Bachelor's degree.
I am kind of partial because I helped develop the program and teach several of the sessions.
The program has a very good mix of theory, practice, and hands-on with students leaving having analyzed, designed and developed an actual elearning module that they can implement in their place of work.
$12518 seems fairly low. I'm guessing that's for in-state. Costs per credit hour can be as high as $750-$1250. That would make that same graduate degree 24k - 45k. In my opinion, that's not really reasonable. Some would disagree, considering that career prospects and pay are likely to increase. Either way, 12.5k seems attractive in comparison
About costs:
Just a tip from a senior instructional designer (emphasis on Senior) -- make sure that you have enough years left in your working career to pay off the student loans.
I completed an online Associate course in 2008, and now at age 65 I still have$16,000 owing. Needless to say, I don't expect to retire before 70!
I saw the IST program at Indiana University listed and the Distance Education Certificate. There is also a Masters in Adult Education and the IST program has both a Ph.D. and an Ed.D. http://education.indiana.edu/graduate/programs/index.html
I highly recommend the Instructional Technology program at Bloomsburg University. This is a well-structured program that integrates theory with real-word applications. The faculty is extremely knowledgeable and helpful.This program helped to take my course design and development skills to the next level.The classes can be conveniently completed in person or online which was very helpful for me.I’d be happy to answer any question you may have about the program.

The instructors were responsive, supportive, and really modeled online course development well. I can not say enough good things about my experience.

Do you know any courses for people outside US? Like me, I am from the Philippines.
Hi everyone. I have two question about certificate programs.
Thanks!
One of San Diego State's programs doesn't require the undergrad. It's a great program.
Thanks Steve. Is it an online program?
Yep. It's entirely online. I think this is the one:

Hi Ali,
I completed the Graduate Certificate at Griffith Uni (BrisVegas). That means only 40 more credit points for
my Masters in Digital Design. F2F attendance, can't say I would recommend.
Would like to see a range of online SL courses - Lynda.com style.
Cheers
Garry
