this is what they do is tell you the different 'routes into teaching' in the UK and can explain about the placements, etc also, I am pretty "clued in" to online learning (my MA is in Ed Tech) and I have never heard of a distinction between online learning and distance learning. I admit I even googled it too see if I was missing something and I don't see anything :( I think the more important information is the accreditation. As in, if you get a degree from a school with what is viewed as 'not as reputable accreditation' then you cannot use that degree to further your education later, i.e. if you get BA from the online degree from University of Phoenix in the USA although you can work and be a teacher, etc etc but you can never take that BA and get a MA from say University of Florida as the BA is not recognised as an "accredited degree". However, if you get an online BA with University of California which is on the more reputable accreditation system, you can get a MA anywhere - pretty much in the world. I imagine it is the same in the UK. as for the PGCE - I'm pretty sure a PGCE is a PGCE. I would strongly suggest that instead of a PGCE you consider an MA. You never know where life is going to take you and an MA is much more transferable worldwide and will also put you on a higher pay scale - it does in the USA at least. even if you are a qualified teacher from say the US you have to go through the QTS process and you have up to 4 years I think to complete it... edited by ccdoha on 27/09/2011 edited by ccdoha on 27/09/2011 I think the difference between on- line learning is that with distance learning the home campus physically exists and has an on campus student body whereas with on-line learning there may or may not be a physical campus and if there is not the degree isn't likely to be widely recognised

Can you rehang the door so it opens outwards?

Just wondering if you asked them to check the warehouse-or asked for a rain-check-even if you wouldn't have had the 20% discount?

Have to say I have had the opposite experience with Pottery Barn with the staff at Mirdiff calling Dubai Mall and getting items held for me. Anther time they also took my email for another item that was out of stock and tried to find it-then emailed to tell me it was sold out everywhere. Watched their new staff being trained in-store a while back and they seemed to be doing a good job with the training. Pity you didn't go bed shopping on Thursday when it was 20% off stock.....disappointing when you miss out on something you have your heart set on. Hopefully you can find something similar elsewhere.
