  "The question that you have to ask is not who is offering distance learning, but who isn't."
  United States Distance Learning Association Executive Director John G. Flores

  "The number of students who study online has been increasing at a rate far in excess of the rate of growth in the overall higher education student population... online education has made strong inroads in the core offerings for most types of institutions."
  Allen & Seaman, Growing by Degrees, Online Education in the U.S. 2005 (Sloan Foundation study.)
