Online enrollment continues growth - E.J. Anderson, Ahwatukee Citizen Reporter
Ready for college? Looking for additional education so you can get promoted or start a new career? There's a good chance you'll be taking a class from the comfort of your home. Online education is no longer the new kid on the block but has become a popular way of gaining an education. It has become so popular that enrollment grew by nearly 14 percent from 2007 to 2008 at Rio Salado College. And in the past six years, online education has grown by a whopping 39 percent at the college. "There's been a fundamental shift in the perception and availability in online education," said Vernon Smith, Rio Salado College's dean of Teaching and Learning.
