As Economy Wavers, Online Enrollments Climb

Would online education have the same impact on traditional education institutions as social media have on traditional broadcast media? The study, “Staying the Course: Online Education in the United States, 2008,” was produced with the College Board and the Babson Survey Research Group at Babson College. The growth on online enrollment might continue thanks to a stagnating economy, according to most of the survey’s respondents, which would align with previous experience in which a deteriorating job market leads to more enrollments. The trend also reinforces reports earlier this year that community colleges, especially, were encouraging students to take courses online to save on commuting costs.
