Online Learning Goes the Distance - Megan Potte, Cornell Daily Sun
Over 3.5 million students at universities across the country took an online course last fall, according to a recent survey by the Babson Survey Research Group. The study, “Online Nation: Five Years of Growth in Online Learning,” reported a 10 percent increase in popularity for the cyber classroom over the past year — a trend that Cornell students seem to follow. Recently, both forms of online learning at Cornell, the Distance Learning Program and eCornell, noticed a growing demand among students and members of the professional world. Some purists, however, insist that sitting in front of a computer screen is nothing like sitting in front of a professor, and question the credibility and quality of the online experience. According to the Babson study, only one third of academic leaders believe their faculty members accept the legitimacy of online credits.
