The COVID pandemic emphasized the need for robust online and hybrid learning options for students, particularly as the nontraditional student population, which needs flexibility due to personal, professional, and family obligations, grows.
Now, BestColleges’ ninth annual Online Education Trends Report is shedding light on some of the most recent developments in online education, tracking current trends through data collected from current, former, and prospective students and school administrators. The report, authored by Melissa A. Venable, Ph.D., an online education advisor for BestColleges, represents the site’s seventh year of original data collection via online surveys, with participation from 1,800 students and 131 school administrators.
