According to Memorial University's Gazette, the institution's Distance Education and Learning Technologies (DELT) program is enjoying a significant increase in registrations for distance programs.

"Collective distance education registrations total 5,907 for the fall 2008 semester, an overall 13.1 per cent increase since 2007" (para. 1).

"Memorial’s distance education capabilities make it the largest among Canadian comprehensive universities. Currently offering over 350 undergraduate and graduate degree courses from 10 faculties and schools, distance education has surpassed 15,000 registrations annually from across the province and around the world." (para. 8).

Registrations is one thing but I'd like to know how their dropout rates and student grade numbers compare to their f2f courses.  Still, the increase in regstrations suggest that DELT is doing something right.
