E-learning: a future in distance education?

My frustrations in recent days over being in a classroom have led me to strongly re-consider my future as a teacher. However, I happened to rekindle an old thought that could be of very great interest to me.

While looking through Dave's ESL Cafe for Korean job postings, I noticed an ad for Korea Cyber University. They are looking for an instructor to conduct online classes. That rang a bell with me because I recently finished my M.A. through the University of Phoenix Online. I really enjoyed the type of interaction that took place in this learning environment.

Suddenly, I remembered Nova Southeastern University - a university based in Florida that offers a doctorate in instructional technology/distance education. One of my instructors in the M.A. program was doing his Ph.D. at Nova SE, and he said it was a very worthwhile program.

So now I'm thinking that I might try to get some work at a university here in Korea (maybe the Cyber University), and work on my Ph.D. through Nova SE at the same time. Teaching and studying completely online? Sounds PERFECT to me!
