In the North Texas area, online learning is chugging relentlessly forward like a train that won’t be stopped. Particularly at the collegiate level, the online phenomenon is fueled by young adults who like technology and nontraditional students who need it, educators say. The flexibility added to a college career through online learning allows students to do what they couldn’t easily do otherwise — juggle job, family and studies. “It’s an outstanding opportunity for students and the wave of the future,” said Dusty Johnston, Vernon College president. With online options, even rural students can complete a degree or work toward a higher one without constant commuting to the big city, according to Pam Morgan, Midwestern State University associate vice president for outreach and engagement.
