043R2KgU1PAY47p The demand for distance education is accelerating across the country, with some universities reporting a 50 per cent increase of course enrolments during the past two years. Higher education leaders attribute the increase partly to more courses becoming available online and the availability of FEE-HELP loans. "There has been an increase in demand for distance education in a broader sense that has come about by the electronic boom," Australian Vice-Chancellors Committee chief executive John Mullarvey says.
