Distance Education Trends Distance education is becoming more abundant, thereby increasing the need for effective course-management systems and teaching strategies that utilize technology. Many trends in higher education will influence the future of distance learning. Student enrollments are growing to surpass the capacity of traditional infrastructures, learner profiles are changing, students are shopping for educational experiences that meet their schedules and circumstances, and higher education outsourcing and partnerships are increasing.

The current higher education infrastructure cannot accommodate the growing college-aged population and enrollments, making more distance education programs necessary. Not only is technology becoming more ubiquitous, it is being used more competently by more people from all nationalities, age groups, and socioeconomic levels.

The Bachelor of Maritime Studies and the Bachelor of Technology programmes are fully online and many other courses and programmes are under development and will be offered via e-learning in the future.

Marine Institute designs and delivers programmes that provide graduates with highly competitive skills and abilities by encouraging excellence in teaching and learning.
