So what is the future of Online classes?   It is still unclear, but Campus Technology magazine published that students taking online courses have increased by 96 percent over the last 5 years suggesting that students will continue to take online courses. Also, a Department of Education study in 2009 concluded that students actually learn better with online instruction. Let’s face it, the completion rates are abysmal, but if History is any guide, online courses are here to stay, will improve overtime and we will adapt our institutions and lives around the new technology that offers the potential to increase access to high quality instruction to all.
