According to a new study from eLearners, many students (particularly young adults) are interested in learning online in the future. Here's a blurb from their recent release:

"Six out of ten Americans say that if they had to go back to school at some point, they'd be interested in doing it online, according to new research released by eLearners.com, the leading resource that specializes in connecting people with online education. What's more interesting is that even the younger generation is more compelled to go online, with 80% of young adults ages 18 - 24 indicating they would be interested in the online route if they wanted to take more courses or get a degree in the future."

I take this as one more sign of the growing credibility in the field of distance education.
