A Texas Company Sees Online Learning as Growth Industry in Latin America - MONICA CAMPBELL, Chronicle of Higher Ed
Jhon Harold Peña works in the stockroom of a country club. His wife, Marta Castiblanco, cleans guest rooms.

Mr. Peña is going for an online technical degree in financial management, while Ms. Castiblanco studies tourism.
