Online Courses in the Age of High Gas Prices

in Podcast Articles and Resources | July 8th, 2008 2 Comments

Gas prices are up. Most sectors of the economy are down (see this WSJ bit) as a consequence. The exceptions? Apparently hybrid cars and online courses, according to this piece in The Chronicle of Higher Education. Feeling the pinch, students are skipping the drive to campus and taking courses online. The net result: many schools are seeing enrollments in online courses increasing 25% over last year.

And, yes, we feel your pain. So feel free to fill your iPod (or other MP3 players) with our collection of free educational resources. Lots of value here:
