Online learning is here to stay - Ruth Watkins, VPAA University of Utah, Deseret News

Today, three in four undergrads are considered "nontraditional" students. They may work while taking classes. They may have started families or served in the military. Or, as is often the case at my institution, the University of Utah, they may have done missionary work for as long as two years after high school. The on-campus model doesn't work for this growing group of students. They can't raise families in dorms. And morning classes aren't compatible with full-time jobs. http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865628125/Online-learning-is-here-to-stay.html
