Advancements in technology provide increasingly ubiquitous high-speed, mobile Internet access. As a result, learning and teaching are no longer constrained by the physical limits of space and time (including scheduled class time). Postsecondary education has led the charge in providing ubiquitous access to its students, making it possible for faculty and students to interact, communicate and learn nearly anywhere, at any time. Online learning helps meet the needs of traditional and non-traditional students, of rural students with otherwise limited options and of those for whom the traditional classroom model is neither practical nor convenient. Students are empowered to take control of their learning and enroll in virtual and hybrid classes and degree programs and engage in lifelong experiences that address their personal, academic and professional needs.
