From Market Research, a report on distance education for 2004. It's quite pricey for a student, but for student centers, student programs and other resource centers like school libraries, it is probably affordable; for those in the online education business or getting into it, this report looks like a must have.

This report gives benchmarking data for college distance learning programs, with data broken out by size and type of college and by size of distance learning program. The report covers issues such as: use of emerging technologies, such as authoring software, rates of market growth, revenue and enrollment growth, use of DL journals and attendance at conferences, the spread of distance learning to traditional full time students studying at a college, ties with foreign colleges, outsourcing, trends in courses offered, enrollment growth in courses tailored for industry, trends in marketing costs, trends in instructor salaries, use of part time, full time and adjunct faculty, drop out and non-payment rates, perceived growth prospects for distance learning in various subject fields and other issues.
