Distance Learning:Overview
In 1999, more than 90 million students were enrolled in adult education classes of various types, compared to only 15 million students in traditional higher education institutions
Online training currently captures $1 billion of the estimated $1 trillion dollars spent on education in the US
Traditional classroom training will erode to less than 50% by 2003, driven by the reduced costs (50% -70% less than classroom training) and convenience associated with distance learning
