As of 2010, 6.1 million students (31% of all college students) were taking at least one online course as a regularly scheduled part of their program. In addition, 65% of higher education institutions and 69% of for-profit institutions state that online learning is a critical part of their long-term strategy (Babson Survey Research Group).
