Online learning clears way to college for many - Nancy Buczek , Syracuse Post-Standard
Mary Ware traveled to Arizona, Cape Cod, New Jersey and Aruba while taking an Onondaga Community College online course last semester, joining the growing ranks of millions of people nationwide who have tried online learning. "Whenever there was free time I rushed out to a library or somewhere," said Ware, 59. Ware, of Homer, is among a growing population using the Internet to take college classes. Many colleges are responding by offering more online courses. More than 1.9 million students nationwide took at least one course online in fall 2003, an increase of 300,000 people over the year before, according to a study released in November by the Sloan Consortium, an organization that supports online learning, and the Sloan Center for OnLine Education, which is jointly operated by Babson College and the Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering.
