Room For Growth in Online Education
The online-education market has the potential to grow significantly, with about half of potential college students interested in earning a degree online, according to a survey conducted by Eduventures Inc. E-learning appeals most strongly to adults ages 35 to 55, the survey found.
Eduventures, an education-consulting company, surveyed 2,000 people across the United States who indicated they were planning to attend college. Of those, 19 percent said they wanted to earn a degree completely online, 18 percent wanted to enroll in a program that was primarily online with some face-to-face instruction, and 14 percent said they wanted equal time online and on campus. Most of the rest wanted all or most of their courses in a traditional classroom, and a few people were interested in other forms of instruction, such as video.
