More than Half of Students May Lack Reliable Access to High-Speed Internet - Rhea Kelly, eCampus News

According to a new survey from Visual Objects, 51 percent of high school and college students do not have consistent access to high-speed internet and WiFi. The company, which helps businesses find and hire creative firms, surveyed 400 students across the United States about how they are adapting to remote learning. Sixty-three percent of students surveyed intend to take online classes this fall. But among those remote learners, about 35 percent will be staying home rather than living on campus, meaning "they may be without computers, software, and other resources available at school," the survey report noted.
