Description

INTRODUCTION In the last few years, the number of online courses in higher education has dramatically increased. A 2006 report released by the Sloan Consortium, which surveyed 2,251 CEOs from various colleges and universities, stated that there were 3.2 million students enrolled in online courses during the fall semester of 2005 (Allen & Seaman, 2006). This is almost 1 million more than the previous year. Another report from the Sloan Consortium, which surveyed 1,170 CEOs in 2003, stated that 53.6% of them agree that online learning is vital to their long-term goals (Allen & Seaman, 2004).
