28. Service-learning
in online courses

29. Sixty-three percent of all reporting
institutions said that online learning was
a critical part of their institution’s long
term strategy.
Over 5.6 million students were taking at
least one online course during the fall
2009 term; an increase of nearly one
million students over the number
reported the previous year.
The twenty-one percent growth rate for
online enrollments far exceeds the less
than two percent growth of the overall
higher education student population.
Nearly thirty percent of higher
education students now take at least
one course online.
