More agrestic districts use video conferencing than urbanized or suburban districts, which resort heavily on the Internet. Indeed, students at the college and university level also rely exclusively on the Internet.

A growing minority of distance education pupils are working professionals, individuals who work by day and go to classes at night, often only two or three times a week. The ease of internet education is very attractive to these students as they can successful juggle work, friends, and coursework.

The Department of Education thinks online and distant education courses will grow 100% before 2020.
