This story is about online education, and how it is becoming more popular for students. It discusses how online education is rapidly growing and what some of the advantages are.

1. I think this news lead is just a basic news lead. It answers the WHO, WHAT, and WHY.

2. I think this story has two news values, impact and proximity. This story reveals the impact online education can have on students lives. Also, because this story was done by the "Flor-Ala," this story has proximity because it deals directly with college students.

What I think the story could have included is how this will impact high school seniors who are about to go to college. Is this going to increase the number of students who start working as soon as they graduate and get their degree at the same time? Also, should highschools start incorporating their own online courses to prepare students for the future?
