Online classes are becoming more popular than ever, and many university presidents seem to agree. New survey data released by the Pew Research Center show that delivering courses online has gained acceptance among college leaders but that the general public still remains unconvinced. More than half of the 1,055 college presidents who were questioned believe that online education offers a value to students that equals that of traditional classrooms. In contrast, however, 29 percent of 2,142 adults who were surveyed believe that online education measures up to traditional teaching. College leaders are correct in embracing online education, as it is becoming a popular medium for education in the Internet age. This wasn’t always the case, as just 10 years ago, few colleges actually taught courses on the Internet, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education.
