The Babson Survey Research Group conducted a survey on online learning in 2012. From the report, it was found that the need for pursuing higher education must not only evolve at any cost but the evolution must happen faster. About 77% of the academic leaders ranked the learning outcomes on the basis of comparisons made with the physical classrooms. The comments they made in regard to the online learning strategies were either “same” or “superior” in comparison to those adopted in the physical classrooms.
