Combine this with a business economy that is looking for more efficient ways to achieve results with fewer resources, the growing trend for younger generations to prefer online environments as a means of communication and the sheer reality that lives are simply getting more complex and you have the perfect storm that is driving an emerging trend toward online education options.
