Why Enrollment in Online Courses Is Increasing Nationally
Seaman, Allen, & Seaman (2018) concluded in their research that enrollment in face-to-face traditionally taught on-campus courses at higher education institutions continues to decrease and is projected to over the next ten years. As a result, they have investigated why students are choosing online learning and degree programs at an increasing rate (Seaman et al., 2018).

As a result, it is important to understand why, in addition to how higher education, students and faculty can benefit from increasing courses in an online modality.
