Online education continues to grow at a greater rate than the rest of the higher education sector. Understanding how to build programs aimed at online college students starts with having the right data. Learn what 1,500 fully online students have to say about their online learning preferences and demands.

And according to EdTech, one quarter of college students are enrolled in online courses. At a time when higher education enrollments are flattening or even declining, online education remains a bright spot. But to stand out in an increasingly competitive marketplace, colleges and universities need to understand how to best serve this population.
