Online learning has declined at Iowa’s three public universities from its height during the pandemic, but the Iowa Board of Regents says it’s still a growing trend. A new report from the Board of Regents covering the 2021-2022 academic year showed that though the three Regent universities “returned to normal” as the pandemic waned, online course enrollments continued to trend upward. The Board of Regents says this trend is actually in keeping with a trend that started before the pandemic. The latest data suggests a major area of growth in online courses is at the graduate level.
