Service-learning
in online courses
http://sloanconsortium.org/publications/survey/class_differences
Sixty-three percent of all reporting institutions said that online learning was a critical part of their institution’s long term strategy.
Over 5.6 million students were taking at least one online course during the fall 2009 term; an increase of nearly one million students over the number reported the previous year.
The twenty-one percent growth rate for online enrollments far exceeds the less than two percent growth of the overall higher education student population.
Nearly thirty percent of higher education students now take at least one course online.
