Online Learning

If you're like me, you love charts and infographics. They are quick and powerful learning tools for visual learners.  The blog Getting Smart posted an infographic recently about the growth from what was called distance learning to the term we use today, online learning. We begin in 1840 when course material was sent through the mail service and come to today, were 1 in 4 college students are enrolled in at least one online course. We have come a long way in terms of getting educational material out to students off-site of the school or campus. There are still barriers to overcome, as described in the final pros and cons section, but one this is for certain: we are improving how we exchange information every day.
