Ohio's Online Offerings

The Columbus Dispatch checks in on distance learning in Ohio and reports that over 42,000 of the state's college-goers -- that's one of every 10 students enrolled in public universities -- took at least one class online in 2005.

A study conducted by the Ohio Learning Network, a wing of the state's Board of Regents, found that half of the online learners were full-time students, and two-thirds of them were women. In Ohio, as elsewhere, many campus officials report that their online offerings are growing more popular with traditional students looking to squeeze extra credit hours into a semester. --Brock Read
