Student demand for online education is skyrocketing—and it’s not just adult learners anymore. Traditional undergraduates are now seeking flexible, high-quality digital options, and colleges are racing to keep up. In this video, we break down three critical shifts shaping the future of higher education:
Student Demand Is Surging
From the latest Chloe 10 survey, online learning continues to expand at record pace, with undergrads joining adults in seeking flexible options.
Growth in All Areas
The online boom is happening across degrees, non-degrees, graduate programs, and especially microcredentials. Certificates and bootcamps are reshaping how students approach career relevance.
Infrastructure Must Catch Up
Without stronger support for faculty, instructional design, and AI strategies, growth risks hitting a wall. Adjuncts teach nearly half of online courses, yet many schools admit they aren’t ready for a full digital future. This is the story of higher education in transformation: growing student expectations, expanding program options, and the urgent need for infrastructure to keep pace. If you’re in higher ed leadership, edtech, or just curious about the future of learning, this breakdown shows why now is a critical turning point.
