As reported by the Babson Research Group and the College Board’s annual survey, more than 6.1 million learners were enrolled in an online course during the fall 2010 academic semester. The Noel-Levitz 2012 study of online learner preferences found that these students are often “seeking online options as a flexible way to meet their program requirements while balancing work and home commitments.” As the number of online students and programs steadily increases,a focus on challenges, along with solutions, continues to be relevant.
