Online Learning: The way forward to expanding the reach of Education
Online learning, a new concept that has emerged in the world of education as a byproduct of the widespread insertion of internet penetration globally, is burgeoning by leaps and bounds throughout the world. A report by the Babson Survey Research Group (2013) reveals that over 6.7 million post secondary students enrolled themselves in at least one online course in comparison to just 1.6 million in 2002. As higher education institutions continue to improve and enhance the quality of their online curriculum, the student engagement towards online education is also witnessing rapid growth. On the basis of continuous increase in the number of students pursing online education, a large pool of prestigious colleges and universities have also started fully online degree programs and majority of these institutions award degrees to numerous students across the world through distance education.
