Thot Cursus ( http://cursus.edu) guides almost 100,000 people every year.
Even though the site itself tries to answer most of the questions asked by people looking for courses, we still receive over 2,000 personal queries each year. While some are too minimal or impossible to answer, over 1,500 are answered after analysis.
We analyzed a sample of 500 queries, after which we found no queries that didn't fit into our 12 classes of request.
Here is a summary of the questions that an institution wishing to host distance students is likely to have to answer.
