What Do College Faculty and Businesses Think About Online Education?
From 1994 to 1998, the number of distance education degree programs in United States colleges increased by seventy-two percent. Distance education enrollment growth rates averaged seven percent per year and estimates suggested that U.S. companies spent as much as 18 billion dollars on IT-based delivery for online education in 2005. Fast forward to 2009-2010, the number of students taking at least one online class grew by ten percent.
