Online explosion: Enrollment numbers at Parkland continue to climb - Anne Cook, Champaign New Gazette
... Numbers tell the story about the rapid, consistent growth in interest in Parkland online classes and those that are hybrids, requiring students to spend some time in class. The first year they were offered, 1996-97, enrollment was 165. The trend really took off in the 1999-2000 school year when online enrollments grew by more than 100 percent to 1,987. Last school year, enrollments online totaled 10,911. According to Admissions Director Mike Henry's most recent report to the Parkland board, the head count in online classes increased 7.6 percent from spring semester 2005 to spring semester 2006 from 2,985 students in spring, 2005, to 3,212 students in spring 2006.
