Transportation, childcare, and work schedules are some of the problems that adult students must juggle while they are attempting to improve their lives by going back to school. Clearly it is not an easy task to fit classes into hectic schedules, but those learners who are motivated to do so make time to attend. An article in the April/May edition of ON CAMPUS, the national publication of AFT higher education faculty and professional staff, addresses distance education and whether or not it boosts completion rates. The students are online college students, primarily in Illinois, who are returning to finish degree programs that they left years ago. Professor Emeritus Ray Schroeder, taught the students in his Internet in American Life class during the spring semester. There are opportunities for adults to go back to the classroom during the day or in the evening. They can also take advantage of learning from home with the online choices at area colleges and universities. Motivated learners can make their dreams come true.
