Growing Community Colleges Online See New Trends in E-Learning
Online education isn’t just expanding. It’s also getting better. 

Student enrollment is up at community colleges online, and the gap between distance learning and face-to-face student completion rates is closing, according to the latest findings from the Instructional Technology Council (ITC).
