Once in a while it’s OK if we toot our own horn, isn’t it? Just a little?

In this article, entitled “Public Universities Leading the Way in Online Learning,”by Nina Silberstein and courtesy of ClassesUSA.com, UMassOnline is named in a list of five major, fast-growing university systems offering online programs that are growing rapidly and changing people’s misconceptions about distance learning at the college level.

Moreover, if you take the time to read Ms. Silberstein’s item from top to bottom, you’ll find comments from a lot of experts in online education giving their opinions about how and why the online alternative is gaining in popularity and achieving learning outcomes that some even say can exceed traditional classroom standards in some instances.
