status
| Growth in distance education is attributed to increasing enrollments
in courses delivered
over the internet. In 1999-2000, on-line instruction accounted for 37% of all distance learning enrollments. Approximately 59% of the grades for 1999-2000 telecourses were completion grades (A, B, C, D, E and F) and 46% were successful completion (A, B or C) grades. Internet course completion rates were significantly higher with 74% completion and 56% successful completion grades awarded. |
