UCLA Higher Ed Survey: Online Classes Now Start Earlier Than Ever - Larry Press, a New Domain

An intriguing survey just out from the UCLA Higher Education Research Institute shows that an overwhelming number of high school students now are taking online classes on their own initiative. The numbers present three striking things. First, it’s clear students aren’t waiting for school prompts to pursue online classes. They’re doing it all by themselves in high numbers. Second, the students that attend historically black colleges take more online courses than other schools. Third, there’s a clear trend that online classes are increasing in popularity. Whether on their own accord or at a school’s requirement, online classes are being utilized by a large percentage of incoming freshman. http://anewdomain.net/2015/09/23/larry-press-online-classes-rise/
