Initially the computers were introduced and then internet in the late 20th century and after that the tools and methods of online education have expanded. In the beginning, online learning was making it easier to learn about particular subjects and develop certain skills. But now-a-days, Online learning environments began to thrive and people gaining access to online information and online education opportunities.
The current challenges facing traditional colleges and universities, including higher tuition, budget cuts, and course shortages, have caused many students to search for alternatives. With nearly three million students currently enrolled in fully online degree programs and six million taking at least one online course as part of their degree program, online education has clearly become one of the most popular higher education alternatives. The continually improving reputation of online learning has also helped fuel its expansion, as initial skepticism has faltered in the face of evidence that shows that online learning can be just as effective as face-to-face education.
