The selected population is postsecondary students who participated in distance learning in previous years. According to the National Center for Education Statistics’ Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) data, some students chose to be enrolled in distance learning education. In contrast, 12.7 million students failed to register in distance education. Of the students who enrolled in distance education, 3.7 million students were enrolled for at least one course, while 3.3 million students had exclusively been enrolled in distance education courses (Patton et al., 2016). The data source established that the private forprofit institutions had the highest number of students (73%) enrolled in distance education courses compared to public institutions (34.1%). When evaluating distance learning, affordability is a primary concern among students. Many prefer institutions that are cheap and will cater to their educational needs. In most cases, public schools are usually preferred as they are less expensive than private for-profit institutions. However, based on the statistics, most of the students chose private institutions, which is costly compared to public institutions. Further research should detail why students choose private for-profit schools over public schools for distance learning education (Skipper, 2005). What could be the potential causes of students choosing private institutions over public institutions? Similarly, while the increased use of technology has led more students to enroll in distance learning, are private schools better than public schools? Schools and postsecondary institutions offer adequate information on matters relating to academics and educations. For instance, The National Center for Education Statistics STUDENT DIVERSITY 3 (https://nces.ed.gov/) plays a critical role in collecting and analyzing data relating to education in the country. As part of the Institute of Education Sciences and U.S. Department of Education, NCES helps fulfill Congressional mandate to collect, collate, analyze, and report complete statistics related to statistics on American education conditions. EDUC 6156 Walden Benefits of Using Social Bookmarking Annotated Bibliography Also, the focus is on conducting and publishing reports and reviewing educational activities. The board can use this information on the number of students that complete their college education and factors that are likely to prevent them from completing education.

Digital technology, such as emails and visual technology aided by the internet, enables the learning. Various factors affect the perception of this mode of learning while several factors influence the success and outcome of distance learning. Unlike face-to-face, distance learning students may encounter challenges since they do not have regular contact with the teachers. It is vital to understand the challenges facing these students to improve the outcomes. Article #1 Essary, M.L. (2014). Key external factors influencing successful distance education programs. Academy of Educational Leadership Journal, 18(3), 121-136. This article explores some of the external factors that influence enrollment in distance learning. The study used structured questionnaires to collect information from 16 knowledgeable participants from the University of Athens. The analysis of the information showed that competitive issues and meeting the students’ requirements are the two main factors that influence enrollment in distance learning.

International Journal of Digital Society (IJDS), 3(3), 689-694. This study aimed at identifying the factors that influences students towards enrollment of distance learning. The article reports on the results from 48 questionnaires that were administered to students from various courses. The study identified a total of 9 factors that influence the enrolment. These factors involved factors from both students and the institutions. Effective Education on Practices (Part 1)—Annotated Bibliography 3 Article #3 Shin, N., & Chan, J.K. (2004). Direct and indirect effects of online learning on distance education. British Journal of Educational Technology, 35(3), 275-288. This study explored the effects of online learning on the quality of distance learning. The researchers assessed the link between online learning and the outcome of distance learning. The study sampled a total of 285 distance learning students to reveal a multifaceted association between students’ engagement and their perception on the institutions.

This study was conducted to assess Students’ online readiness to open and distance learning. EDUC 6156 Walden Benefits of Using Social Bookmarking Annotated Bibliography The study involved 6,507 university students enrolled in both open and distance learning. The results showed that demographics in both forms of learning could be used to assess readiness for learning. Article #5 Fidalgo, P., Thormann, J., Kulyk, O., & Lencastre, J.A. (2020).

Retrieved from https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1186/s41239-02000194-2.pdf This study assessed student’s perceptions of distance learning. A survey was administered to students in three nations. In all three countries, the results showed some similarities in the concerns of the students. The major concerns were time management, language skills, and motivation. Effective Education on Practices (Part 1)—Annotated Bibliography 4 Article #6 Yilmaz, A.B. (2018). Distance and face-to-face students’ perceptions towards distance education: a comparative metaphorical study. Turkish Online Journal of Distance Education, 20(1), 191-207. This study aimed at comparing the perceptions of face-face learning with distance learning. The study sample 80 distance learning students and 56 face-face learning students. The study revealed that some students prefer distance learning out of desperation. However, they see distance learning as an avenue that presents them with an opportunity to achieve their dreams, especially when they have limited time to study. Critical Summary The studies have revealed that distance learning is a significant approach used in the modern education system. However, there are various challenges as well as benefits of this system. Various studies have concentrated on distance learning in higher education targeting both students and stakeholders in education. EDUC 6156 Walden Benefits of Using Social Bookmarking Annotated Bibliography According to a study by Essary (2014), various factors affect enrollment in distance learning. The author states that if these factors are exploited, less competitive colleges such as the University of Athens can be profitable through the online programs. This assumption shows that one of the reasons behind distance learning could be to make a profit. However, this information is based on the staff’s perceptions, which significantly varies with the perception of students. Other researchers have shown that students may have different views on the reasons they choose distance learning. Studies by Mascreen (2012) and Shin and Chin (2004) showed that perceptions of both students and teachers might influence the success of distance learning. A study by Yilmaz, A.B. (2018) showed that students enroll to distance learning due to convenience with their lives. This assumption is supported by the fact Effective Education on Practices (Part 1)—Annotated Bibliography 5 that some students do not have enough time to travel to education institutions for their studies. A study by Fidalgo (2020) cited time management as the major concern of distance learning in students. It is important to note that distance learning can be beneficial to students with disabilities and difficulties in engaging in frequent travels to the institutions. Despite the prevailing situations, readiness to learn is vital in any program. The study by Firat & Bozkurt (2020) showed that demographics could be used to assess readiness for learning in distance learning. This would ensure an improved outcome of the learning. Conclusion Factors that influence enrollment in distance learning and how the students view the influencing factors have been discussed. Several factors, such as students’ motivation can be exploited to enhance enrolment and enhance the ideal outcome in learning.
