Gas prices are up. Most secÂtors of the econÂoÂmy are down (see this WSJ bit) as a conÂseÂquence. The excepÂtions? ApparÂentÂly hybrid cars and online coursÂes, accordÂing to this piece in The ChronÂiÂcle of HighÂer EduÂcaÂtion. FeelÂing the pinch, stuÂdents are skipÂping the driÂve to camÂpus and takÂing coursÂes online. The net result: many schools are seeÂing enrollÂments in online coursÂes increasÂing 25% over last year.
