A new report by Wiley found that half of today’s online students had previously stopped out of a college-level degree or program and one-third are first-generation students.
The report surveyed over 5,000 students and almost 2,500 college instructors and found that 53% of students are having trouble retaining class material, 55% of undergraduates are struggling to stay interested in their classes, and 66% of instructors find it challenging to keep students engaged.
