چکیده (انگلیسی):

Presently, community colleges are bursting at the seams. In 2011, community colleges turned
away more than 400,000 prospective students. In the next six years, 63 percent of all U. S. jobs
will require postsecondary education. Twenty two million new workers with postsecondary
degrees will be needed by 2018. Community colleges are turning increasingly to online
technology to increase capacity in order to meet the surging demand for higher education
attainment. In this article we will look at the role of online education in the community college
setting.
