Students Prefer Online Courses

Filed in archive News by Rhys on September 19, 2006

Students Prefer Online Courses
More and more students are eschewing traditional courses for the convenience and variety of online options. And it shows no signs of stopping.

But more students are choosing a different option: Sitting at home or in their office and studying when it's convenient for them.

In the past few years the number of students taking courses via the Internet or another distance-learning method has skyrocketed.

Distance education has been around in some form for about a century, but the delivery methods and quality of the education have changed significantly.

With the rise of the Internet, students can get degrees from prestigious universities in the comfort of their own homes, though the programs still carry some of the stigma of the correspondence courses Sally Struthers used to promote on late-night television commercials as a way to make more money.

That stigma has been exacerbated in recent years by online diploma millslinks, which essentially sell diplomas with little or no college coursework.

Local colleges and universities are trying to erase that image and are jumping at the chance to increase their enrollments and provide students who may not have the time for a traditional college education a chance at a degree.
