Midwest Sees Continued Growth in College Courses Taken Online
More college students are taking online courses at college and universities in the Midwest than ever before, according to a recent report published by the Sloan Consortium in partnership with the Midwestern Higher Education Compact (MHEC-pronounced meck). Over 460,000 students in MHEC's 11-member states took at least one online course in fall 2005, which represents a one-year growth rate of 35 percent, the same as observed nationally. The report, "Making the Grade: Online Education in the United States," 2006, Midwestern Edition, is based on the Sloan Consortium's annual survey of online learning at more than 2,200 colleges and universities in the United States. Just over 80 percent of the Midwestern institutions - 573 out of 706 - responded to the survey.
