Online And Blended Education Overtakes Traditional Classroom Teaching

April 7, 2009 - PRLog -- Blended education is fast headed towards a massive upsurge in popularity in this and the coming decade. According to statistics gathered by the US department of Education and the UK's UCAS educational body, many universities are now offering more and more options for blended courses to their traditional students as well as the online students who have been benefiting from this technology of late.

With technology vendors providing more and more comprehensive services for students and instructors to receive or administer teaching curriculums over the internet in a variety of synchronous and asynchronous ways, many traditional students are opting for blended or online courses as a means to allow them to work part-time or around schedules.

This development is supported by the fact that online enrollments are growing as are the number of blended courses on offer. Further, it has also been noted by several educational researchers in recent years that students tend to engage better when studying blended or online courses, given the web 2.0 generation's affinity with this kind of e-interactive methodology in learning.
