The proliferation of high velocity web connections has made distance learning a viable choice to typical schooling. More rural zones use video conferencing than urbanized or suburban districts, which resort alot on the Internet. Indeed, students at the college and university level also rely entirely on the Internet. A growing minority of distance education pupils are working professionals, individuals who work by day and go to classes at night, often only two or three times a week. The ease of internet education is very attractive to these students as they can successful juggle work, friends, and coursework. Many well-respected institutions offer degree levels including associate, bachelor, and masters degrees. Indeed, the majority of these institutions offer vocational and trades coursework also. The Department of Education believes internet and distance learning courses will grow 100% before 2020. The need to maintain expensive overhead, like campuses and cleaning staff, would become unnecessary, allowing funds to be funneled to the class and coursework level. The concern, as always, is the quality of the work. Distance students are encouraged to build productive communications with fellow classmates, tutors, and teachers. Ms. Patrick said assessing the quality of instruction and coursework could be easier with electronic courses as many factors can be tracked, including the number of times students and teachers interact.
