According to Babson Survey Research Group, the number of students registered in online courses grew to 5.8 million nationally. Online class growth has been consistent for the past 13 years, and more than a quarter of higher education students (or 28%) are enrolled in at least one online course.
Also, Imo Education predicts that by 2019 at least 50% of all classes will be delivered online.
Online courses deliver many advantages for students. For example, they can:
Help students who never finished their degrees and help them to save money Provide flexibility for parents raising families Help full-time workers increase their salaries and move up the career ladder Open doors to new opportunities and provide the base for a career change Build networking skills while creating new personal and professional relationships
