"we have seen a significant increase in the number of online degrees this year. Since the start of the year, more than 65 new online degrees have been launched. While these are primarily postgraduate master's degrees, there is a not insignificant amount of undergraduate degrees too." https://buff.ly/3Xz5Dd0

"Online education has an excellent pedigree as a format that supports learning while you earn, and..there’s a role for online education in disrupting the dichotomy that has sometimes been presented as either going to university or doing an apprenticeship." https://buff.ly/3LdzFM6 #onlinelearning #onlineeducation #distancelearning #distanceeducation #elearning #highereducation #highered #universities

Are online short courses a revenue opportunity for UK universities? — Neil Mosley Consulting

The number of UK HEIs cutting jobs is reportedly now over 50, and in some institutions, courses are being suspended and departments are closing down. The factors behind the financial crisi
