Online Education by the Numbers
The world in which we live is constantly changing. Technology has changed the way we communicate, the way we work, and even the way we play. Does it make sense that the way we learn would be immune that change? Of course not! Below is an infographic that outlines the effect technology has had on higher education. Just in case you weren’t sure, online education is a reputable, cost-effective way to get your degree! Both students and educators agree.

The facts are really shocking. Didn’t know that online education has such an impact.
I tried in vain to figure out the (possible) citations at the bottom of the graphic. Could you provide that please?
As a UF alumni, I can guarantee you that it is not 792/credit hour. Let’s get serious here on how you obtain your facts.

Rasta… it’s $792 per credit hour for out-of-state tuition (on the page you linked to)

online education is definitely becoming more popular, even with established institutions

While the quality of online degrees may not be the exact same as traditional offline degrees, online universities are enabling millions of people to get an education that otherwise wouldn’t have. The cumulative effect of that many people gaining education will be significant, and can’t be understated.

Interesting and a bit surprising. It’s always said that in-class, one-on-one attention usually produces a higher success rate in students. I guess online education is proving that wrong.

Would of thought there would of been more women as they work while they are looking after the kids.

"Online vs Tradional" Yeah, looks like someone needs a dicionary.

"In 2014, more students will be taking some or all online class versus today!" Not only is there a grammatical error, but there’s also a pretty bad logical error. I feel like this infographic actually makes online education out to have very low standards.

This combines people who take one or two online classes with people who are taking all of their classes online. There is a big difference. I feel that online classes are not only much easier than regular classes, but when taking tests or quizzes in a private computer at home you can easily- easily- cheat. Online classes also only work for degrees that don’t need actual labwork, meaning none of the science or engineering majors apply.

The stats are mostly bullshit. This is is just advertisement for some distance learning program.

Nice Try University of Phoenix Online!

You just have to be careful in terms of enrolling with a for-profit institution, a lot of those online schools can end up being more expensive than just a normal university.
