Online Learning Increases in Community Colleges

Enrollment in community college is growing. In the 2008-2009 academic year enrollment increased 20%. Meanwhile administrators find that “, the greatest challenge in distance learning was a lack of support staff needed for training and technical assistance.” Faculty find the greatest challenge in work load.

Open courses backed by Learning Research
