One of the best and most novel innovations of the online age has been the creation of online classes, otherwise known as distance education courses. This alternative type of education offers advantages not found in the traditional, in-person classroom. 12.5 percent of the U.S. student population were enrolled exclusively in distance education courses in the fall of 2012, according to a 2014 report by the U.S. Department of Education. A further 13.3 percent enrolled in at least one distance education course, bringing the total of students enrolled in at least one online course to 25.8 percent. For many students, distance education courses offer the distinct advantage of being flexible to their personal schedules.
