Online education has started to reshape and modify the previous form of education which is the dominant one and this fact is clearly observed if we look at the case of Yavapai College.
The college is witnessing the ‘willing’ turn of its educational system from the traditional to the online mode.
The critics’ opinion
Education’s journeying from the beginning has included various structural matters and procedures by which it was molded and reshaped in a newer; much more improved and effective state. Education traveled across various other systematic analytical methods to be appeared as what it has become today. Its development indicates towards the excellence of its ultimate aim and this rapid progress of development can never be stopped. Rather it is better to allow the persisting flow of its gradual elevation in order to get a better and efficient form than its earlier state.

But the modern day critics are not willing to maintain this order of the correctness of the continuation of the needed state of education. Education must persist to evolve into a better position. The critics are much more relying on what education should have become.
They should consider the mentioned evolution of education as a relevant process. They should rather concentrate on the evolved state of education than its probable formation.
The changes in Yavapai College because of online education
The college has seen rapid changes in an optimistic way. Let us have a look at these changes:
1.Number of online students increased: The number of the students being online learners has grown to 30%. On the other hand, the number of the students going to campus also surprisingly started falling short in the last six years. Even the college officials are saying that the online students are responsible for the formation of the college’s second campus.

2.Online curriculum of the college and students’ enrollment: The College is offering 9 online degrees as well as 17 certificate programs. Tom Hughes, director of institutional effectiveness and research, estimates that the percentage of the students enrolling for online courses has increased from 34% to 47%.
3.The employers’ interest for online candidates: According to Al Filardo, YC Governing Board Member, the employers are becoming interested to hire online degree holders because they are not willing to require any supervision.
Traditional vs. online education
It is another evident fact though that the majority of the people still tend to believe on the traditional education and they do not, completely, look upon online education as a healthy way for educating.

But what about the present generation?
It is also becoming clear that the online education becomes more welcomed to the students as the choice of the students supporting it is growing rapidly.
It can be said that the advent of online education is an optimistic change or evolution of education and not just some of its ineffective turns.
Let’s accept the change
The online education is like a platform where the effectiveness and efficiency of education dwells together in order to create perfection. It is not only a thoughtful notion but a proved example. The rapid preference of the students to take up online education in Yavapai College is the small representation of arrival of the online education as a dominant form of education in the future.
