Why is DL still so expensive? https://www.thetechedvocate.org/why-hasnt-online-learning-made-higher-education-more-affordable/
Missing answer: because the market is responding to the demand for credentials, not for the demand for education as a service.
It's kind of funny because the demand is driven by something other than the labor market. If anything, I've seen the number of jobs demanding a masters go down. Still might exist as a preference for some things, but the prevailing attitude I'm seeing across at least my region is people would rather hire someone with experience and a bachelors than less experience with a masters. Yet, it seems like every underemployed person around is knocking out a masters or a doctorate online to boost their chances. Skill building would be more fruitful.
Georgia Southwestern is the most affordable online school, they say https://wgxa.tv/news/local/georgia-southwestern-lists-as-1-most-affordable-online-colleges-degrees
They are mistaken. I've seen far worse, but Georgia Southwestern is certainly not the most affordable.
