run smaller, more specialized classes which
enhance the quality of learning.
• Fortunately, the advent of technology has
expanded the capacity of educational
institutions to reach far beyond their
geographical areas.
• The increase use of technology in education
may increase access and ultimately lower the
cost of education. (AACN, 1999).
