Infographic: how the internet is revolutionizing education... online education growing at "astronomical rate"...

Major facts and figures:

  • Milestones in e-Learning: In 1971, the Open University in England began broadcasting lectures on television and 25,000 students enrolled. In 1993, six years before the term e-Learning was coined at an educational seminar, William Graziadei III outlined a set of criteria to identify e-Learning systems. They must be easy to use, portable, replicable, scalable and affordable, he wrote.
  • Online education is a $34 billion industry.
  • At 250,000 students, the Open University, which teaches a majority of its courses online, is the largest university in the United Kingdom. It’s twice the size of the University of London.
  • The for-profit University of Phoenix is now the largest university in the United States, enrolling more than 500,000 students. That’s about 13 times larger than the University of Arizona.
  • There are currently more than three million online-only students in the United States. That’s more than the total number of college students in France.
  • Use of online education has been growing at an astronomical rate, and it isn’t stopping. Seventy-five percent of public higher learning institutions have online learning in their long-term plans. By 2019, it is estimated that 50 percent of all classes taught will be delivered online, and many of these will be available for free.
  • Almost half of college students take at least one class online.
  • Nearly half of online students are 26 or older.”
