This report presents more than 100 tables of data exploring how full time college students in the
United States view distance learning, how many such courses that they have taken and plan to take,
and how they view their level of preparedness for DL courses. The report also presents data on how students view DL courses compared to traditional courses and how many study in colleges that offer DL courses.
The data in the report is based on a representative sample of more than 400 full time college students in the United States. Data is broken out by 16 criteria including gender, grade point average, major field of study, income level of students and type, size of college, and mean SAT acceptance score of colleges, among other variables. The report is designed to give college administrators, educational researchers and others benchmarks on student use of distance learning and the student demographics of DL use and future use.
