Two studies, concerning
online education, and technology use in colleges and universities
were conducted by Pew Research Center and results were released
in a report entitled:
"The Digital Revolution and Higher Education". Both
college and university presidents and general public were
surveyed. Of the college/university presidents, 77% said
that their schools offered online courses, yet only 29% of the
public believed that online learning "comparable" in value to the
learning that takes place in the traditional classroom.
Please read the report and rate, in your opinion, the extent to
which these factors may have impacted the public's perception of
online education.
