Enrollment in online universities continues to increase year after year as more and more traditional universities are getting on board. A 2014 report estimated about 6.7 million students were enrolled in more than 275 accredited online universities.
As these programs become well established, they are increasingly offering more educational access to a growing adult learner population.
But, do these adult learners have the motivation needed to succeed in online classes and not drop out? Studies have shown that they do not. This has prompted learning experts to redesign their online programs to cater to the express needs of adult learners.
Online education academic, Eric DeRise, will discuss these theories and practices that help motivate online academic success for both adult learners and the programs.
