Online education, a recent form of distance education, has become a definite example of change in higher education. Another example of this change, online learning, has experienced dramatic growth in recent years. Online enrollment numbers in degree-granting institutions in the United States has exceeded the growth for total enrollments in higher education (Allen, & Seaman, 2011; United States Government
Accountability Office, 2011). Online education enrollment numbers experienced a 21% growth rate while total enrollments experienced less than 2% growth overall. Furthermore, more than 5.6 million students took at least one online course in the fall semester of 2009. This is an increase of almost one million students from the previous year. In addition, close to 30% of students in higher education take at least one course online per semester (Allen, & Seaman, 2011).
