Distance learning gains, yet use of ICN declining in Iowa - MADELAINE JEROUSEK, Register Staff Writer
Internet classes, satellite courses, and audio and video learning are becoming more popular through public universities, while classes offered on the state's controversial fiber-optic network lost students last year, according to a report by the Iowa Board of Regents. Enrollment in classes offered by the three state universities through the costly and trouble-plagued Iowa Communications Network was down 5.4 percent and the number of classes decreased by 21 in 2001-02. The increasing demand for Web-based courses also has contributed to the slide in interest for classes that use the fiber-optic network, education officials said. Still, more students were enrolled in network courses than in off-campus, Web-based classes last year.
