Online Education is Entering the Mainstream - Public CIO
"Last year's online enrollment projection has been realized. There are 2.6 million students learning online this semester and there is no evidence enrollment has reached a plateau," says Jeff Seaman, chief information officer, The Sloan Consortium. The second annual survey is based on responses from over 1,100 colleges and universities and represents the state of online education in U.S. higher education. "Online learning is indeed entering the mainstream," says Frank Mayadas, president of Sloan-C. "Last year we found that a majority of academic leaders said online learning was just as good as traditional, face-to-face classroom instruction. This year's results confirm the finding and show that schools offering online courses believe their online students are at least as satisfied as those actually in the classroom."
