Already, a 10th of Latin America’s 25 million university students study online using distance learning, with over half of that total in Brazil and a survey by FT Confidential Research, a Financial Times service, shows that adoption of remote learning continues to soar region-wide. Distance learning is helping to expand options for publicly funded higher education in remote areas of Brazil such as the Amazon basin.
