The business of distance learning â€" online education courses offered by colleges, universities, and trade schools â€" is an up and down affair.该业务的远程学习€ “网上教育课程所提供的学院，大学，以及贸易学校â € ”是一种向上和向下的事情。 On the surface it would seem that distance learning providers are doing quite well, but according to a May 12, 2005 report at the Motley Fool financial website, the stocks of companies like eCollege and SkillSoft are earning less than honorable marks in the market.表面上看来远距离学习提供者表现也很不错，但根据2005年五月12日报告，杂色傻瓜金融网站，股票等公司eCollege和SkillSoft是收入低于光荣标志着在市场上。 There is no plausible explanation for the drop in eCollege’s stock price from $18.18 per share to $9.07 as of the date of the report since the distance learning company’s quarterly report noted a net increase in first-quarter revenue of 21% compared to the first-quarter of 2004.没有合理的解释为下降eCollegeâ € ™的股票价格从十八点一八美元每股九点零七美元截止日期的报告，因为远程学习companyâ € ™语的季度报告指出，净增加今年第一季度收入的21 ％相对于第一季度的2004年。 Perhaps it is the still sketchy reputation of distance learning and online education that is causing investors to be shy about the companies.也许，这是仍然粗略声誉的远程教学和在线教育，这是造成投资者要回避的公司。 Internet based companies of all kinds with the exception of giants like eBay and Amazon have traditionally had rocky rides ever since the dot com debacle of the late nineties.基于互联网公司的各种除巨头eBay和亚马逊河历来有岩石骑自点的COM崩溃的90年代后期。 Presumably, those trends will soon change.据推测，这些趋势将很快改变。 Distance learning is growing every day.远程教育是与日俱增。 Because online education offers opportunities in adult education unlike any that have existed before, the business itself is growing by leaps and bounds.由于网上教育提供了机会成人教育不同于任何之前已经存在，商业本身就是越来越多的跨越式发展。 In 2001, the British market research firm IDC made the prediction that the worldwide distance learning and online education market would be worth $23billion by 2004.在2001年，英国市场研究公司IDC发表预测，全球远程教学和在线教育市场将23billion美元到2004年。 While numbers of that magnitude have yet to be attained, they are much more realistic for the coming years than they were four years ago.虽然数字的规模尚未达到，他们更现实今后几年比四年前。 Distance Learning is not just for adults anymore.远程学习不仅是成人了。 Part of the growth of distance learning as an industry is stemmed by the fact that, though it was started as an easy alternative to night school and physical adult education classes, many high school and elementary school children are joining the distance learning glee club and receiving their primary education online.部分生长的远程学习作为一种产业是源于这一事实，尽管它开始作为一个简单的替代夜校和成人教育的物理课，许多高中和小学的儿童参加远程学习高兴和接收俱乐部小学教育在线。 By 1999 more than a million American children were being home schooled; taught by their parents at home rather than in a traditional school.到1999年超过100万美国儿童被家庭学习;教他们的父母在家里，而不是在传统的学校。 The numbers have grown since then and with online education and distance learning options becoming available, more are sure to join the ranks in the coming years.这些数字增长，并自那时起与网上教育和远程教育成为可以选择，更是一定要加入此行列在今后几年中。 What this means for investors is that the distance learning business is far from flunking and the decreasing stock prices of online education providers today could be indicative of a bull market after graduation.这意味着投资者的是，远程教育业务还远远没有及格和股票价格下降的在线教育机构今天可以表明牛市毕业后。 To view our recommended sources for online education and degrees, visit us here Recommended Sources For Online Education.要查看我们的建议来源的在线教育和学位，请访问我们在这里推荐来源的在线教育。 Carrie Reeder is the owner of eZerk, an informational website with articles and the latest news on various topics.嘉莉里德是老板eZerk ，一个信息网站，文章和最新的新闻就各议题。 Visit eZerk for more information about online education and degrees. eZerk访问的更多信息，网上教育和学位。
