“I have found that well-crafted online courses afford better access and flexibility to students who aspire to quality education but are young mothers, care-givers with onerous responsibilities at home, as well as students who live in remote areas and have struggled with sky-rocketing housing costs in bigger cities. While it is not easy for students when they are burdened with other responsibilities, the completion of a degree often leads to better jobs and working conditions, and having an online option makes it possible to achieve their goals.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
