Customer Needs
The Internet is changing education by improving the quality of learning and the safety of learning environments. In the past, the quality and breadth of a person's education were determined in large part by their geographic location and daily schedule. Today, with CDs, and other electronic media, many of those limitations are diminishing as students of all ages, throughout the world, benefit from expanded educational opportunities.
