Online learning has become a major source of training and education for individuals at all levels, from K-12 student to college student to working professional and its usage is growing:
- An American Digital Schools 2006 survey found that online learning is currently used by only 4 percent of K-12 students but that this number is expected to grow to 15% by 2011.
- In 2006, there were 3.2 million postsecondary students in the United States that took at least one online course, according to the Sloan Consortium. This represents a 25% increase over the previous year.
- According to a Bersin and Associates research report, budgets for corporate training are averaging 7% growth and companies spend an average of $1,273 annually to train each of their employees.
Joe Jurczyk, president of 247Learn, says, "With web-based learning, individuals can enhance their education at their convenience, anytime and anywhere. We are proud to offer these web-based packages at a low cost so that many people and organizations who otherwise may not be able to afford such training will be able to take advantage of the offering." The 247Learn course packages were developed through a partnership with CyberLearning, a 501c3 nonprofit organization that provides online learning to schools. "As the national nonprofit leader in bridging the digital divide through digital education, CyberLearning provides 2,500 high quality online courses in IT and business topics, with or without 24/7 instant live mentoring, to organizations serving the disadvantaged at a very affordable fee", states Dr. Appu Kuttan, founder and chairman of CyberLearning.
