DL statistics from the U.S. Dept. of Education

Not sure if this has been posted here in the past or not, but it is interesting. This is from the U.S. Dept of Education. I would imagine these numbers are even more DL-positive now, as this data is from 2000-2001:

During the 12-month 2000–2001 academic year, 56 percent (2,320) of all 2-year and 4-year Title IV-eligible, degree-granting institutions offered distance education courses for any level or audience, (i.e., courses designed for all types of students, including elementary and secondary, college, adult education,
continuing and professional education, etc.) (figure 1 and table 1). Twelve percent of all institutions indicated that they planned to start offering distance education courses in the next 3 years; 31 percent did not offer distance education courses in 2000–2001 and did not plan to offer these types of courses in the next 3 years.

Public institutions were more likely to offer distance education courses than were private institutions. In 2000–2001, 90 percent of public 2-year and 89 percent of public 4-year institutions
offered distance education courses, compared with 16 percent of private 2-year and 40 percent of private 4-year institutions (table 1). College-level, credit-granting distance education courses at either the undergraduate or graduate/first-professional level were offered by 55 percent of all 2-year and 4-year institutions (table 3).

College-level, credit-granting distance education courses were offered at the undergraduate level by 48 percent of all institutions, and at the graduate level by 22 percent of all institutions.

Fifty-two percent of institutions that had undergraduate programs offered credit-granting distance education courses at the undergraduate level (table 3).1 Further, college-level, credit-granting distance education courses were offered at the graduate/first-professional level by 52 percent of institutions that
had graduate/first-professional programs (table 3).
