With statistics reporting that more than 1.7 million unique students to date have
schooled online, it's a no-brainer that distance learning is all the rage. What may
be surprising is the fact that eLearning is ideal for students besides stay-at-home
moms and busy professionals -- even big-name athletes like Shaquille O'Neal and movie
stars such as Hilary Duff are clicking into the books in between games and Hollywood
premieres.
From the rich and famous to the up-and-comers, online schooling is available to all. Texas Tech University's accredited distance learning program is open to students as young as kindergarteners through 12th graders. And, the school's Institute for the Development and Enrichment of Advanced Learners program even has TV stars roaming its cyber halls.
