WorldWideLearn: The World's Premier Online Directory of Education

http://www.worldwidelearn.com/about-worldwidelearn/index.html

About WorldWideLearn.com

Our History
A simple query on a search engine for "online courses" was the starting point for WorldWideLearn.com. At that time, there really wasn't a centralized directory of quality e-learning providers. That was in 1998, when there were almost no directories or portals specializing in just online education. Searching for and finding relevant online learning resources proved to be time-consuming and frustrating. WorldWideLearn.com wanted to change that.

The site's founders began to develop a directory of e-learning courses and education resources to provide results for that first, simple query. The WorldWideLearn.com directory site was formally launched in May of 1999. Since then, the site has been honored with numerous prestigious awards. Most recently, the Better Business Bureau has recognized WorldWideLearn.com as meeting their standards of good business. We are members of the American Library Association and are proud to support organizations dedicated to encouraging education.

Who We Serve
WorldWideLearn.com is big on choice and includes a wide variety of courses and programs to satisfy the needs of every learner:

•Online degree programs
•Campus degree programs
•High school diploma & GED
•Vocational training
•Professional development
•Personal development

Our Visitors
WorldWideLearn.com receives millions of annual visitors, with traffic increasing at a steady pace. Education, whether online or via more traditional classroom methods, continues to grow in scale and in importance. An estimated 3.9 million students took at least one online course during the Fall 2007 term, according to the Sloan Consortium, a foundation that tracks and supports online education. That's a million and a half more students than in 2004, and a 12 percent increase over the previous year's number. Similarly, accredited colleges and schools providing career-oriented certificate and degree programs are proliferating in response to growing demand from millions of professionals eager to move up in their careers. WorldWideLearn.com offers listings of schools for all students in an easy-to-navigate format, and additional resources and advice to those considering investing in their own education.

Our Future
Today, WorldWideLearn.com is a compelling directory of hundreds of online, campus, and training courses and degree programs in over 350 subject categories. With offices in both the United States and Canada, we continue to grow and increase the types of education program choices and resources we offer to our visitors. Our future plans include enhancing the site for an even better user experience and developing online tools for members of the education community. We invite you to join our loyal customers and education partners who have helped build WorldWideLearn.com into the world's premier online directory of education.
