Abstract
High unemployment rates discourage workers from quitting their jobs and return to the classroom as students. On account of that, many students prefer to enroll in online programs while they are still on their jobs. But the lack of a comprehensive knowledge on how to successfully enhance education through open degree programs and prior learning assessment remains a real challenge to educational institutions. This chapter discusses some aspects and use of open educational resources and prior learning assessments as they relate to online educational programs.
