British Distance Learning Colleges

Distance learning has increased in popularity since the advent of the Internet, with online classes becoming prevalent at many colleges and universities. The Sloan Consortium's recent research reveals a dramatic increase in the demand for online classes between 2007 to 2008. Many schools offer only graduate degrees online because they require fewer credit hours and students usually have a background in the field prior to taking courses. Colleges in the United Kingdom have increased their online degree and course offerings in order to keep up the increased demand for distance education.
