For the most part, students in online degree and certificate programs are learning on their own. There's no pressure to show up to a physical classroom filled with other students and an instructor, for example, and many online learners need to complete their coursework and attend live sessions around a full-time job and family obligations.

As cost-effective alternatives to traditional college classes, online learning programs continue to gain steam in higher ed.
