[nabs-l] Does DVR / Commission for the Blind pay for online education?

[Loren Wakefield]

Hi,  I can tell you that the department for the blind here in Iowa, refused
to pay for my online pursuit of a degree.  This is so even though the
projected years to obtain the degree online would have cost less than 80
percent of one year at a school here in the area.  They thought that the
only way to obtain the degree is to be out in the public and negotiating a
brick and mortor facility.  I have already obtained a b.a. and MAE from
actual campuses.  I would be glad to talk more about this with you when it
is conveninent for you.  You can reach me via email at:
theweird1 at mediacombb.net  or my cell is 515-829-9330.  Good luck with your
research.

Hi all,

I'm doing a research project on blind students taking online education and
online training. Would you be so kind to advise me if your state's DVR /
Commission for the Blind pays for online education and online training, just
like bric-and-mortar education?
What about vocational training through online methods, such as learning
JAWS, ZoomText, Excel, Word online?
And separately, have you taken any online educationor online training?
What was your experience like? Did you find it rewarding?
Look forward to hearing your views on this.
Thanks a lot for sharing!

Best,
Phil
