Chancellor, you may well be correct. My online experience was with i-i, and there wasnt much interaction there.

I notice you mention St Giles in the States ... I actually did my Trinity with St Giles in my UK hometown, and cant recommend them highly enough!!!!! If their course in San Francisco is as well organised as the ones they offer in the UK they are to be recommended IMO.

One of the things I would also mention is the interactivity in classes and input sessions I enjoyed with St Giles would be impossible to replicate with an online course, hence my comment. Even with modern learning forums and online conferences (which I experience with my distance learning university study) I think it would be hard, or impossible, to replicate the interaction with my St Giles tutors ... who I really cant praise high enough!

My long term plan is to actually work for St Giles! (so if you're reading St Giles ... do feel free to contact me LOL)

I suspect that online course providers that also have full on-site courses do a better job of it than a group like i-to-i.

I mentioned them because the original poster is a Californicator and the course is in San Francisco.
