Online education is dialing up to be a significant factor in the futures of colleges and universities across the country, including Binghamton University. Administrators are continuing to explore ways to integrate technology and the classroom. Recently, Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology committed $60 million to offer free online courses from both universities. Binghamton’s department of Continuing Education & Outreach (CEO) reported that at BU, about 44 percent of total student enrollment of 7,230 during the 2011 summer and winter sessions was associated with distance learning courses. Between 2003 and 2011, summer and winter sessions have served 12,986 students through 666 distance learning courses.
