More students than ever before are choosing to get their education online. Studying online is practical and affordable. There are no boarding or meal fees and no transportation costs. Studying online also saves time. You don’t lose valuable studying time walking or riding to school. You can earn virtually any degree or certificate online. More students are studying online than ever before. Younger and younger students who grew up with their computers and iPods are finding more comfort with the online learning model. The UK’s Open University serves more than 263,000 students in 23 countries. Over a quarter of the university’s students are now under age 25. The university has broken records with its use of iTunes U’s digital library. Students have downloaded more than 31 million lectures and materials from Open University. More than 90 percent of these students are from outside the UK. Students are comfortable accessing lectures from the convenience and comfort of their iPods.
