It seems that the days in which employers look down on job candidates who earn their degrees through accredited online universities is coming to an end. According to a recent SHrM poll, “76 percent of human resources professionals said online degrees are viewed more favorably than five years ago.”
A major reason for this is due to the proliferation of the web in our ever day lives. In the past 10 years, the business world has changed before our very eyes (can you imagine an office setting without email?). It should come as no surprise that there is a direct positive correlation between the growth of the web and the acceptance of online learning.
Another reason employers are looking more favorably at online degrees is because of the use of online learning in the corporate environment. Companies have been investing heavily in custom Learning Management Systems and Learning Content Management Systems for some time now.
