Distance learning , only alternative for some while in the U.S. and Europe, online courses , especially universities, are having a significant growth in Latin America are still struggling to include these systems. Developing countries still struggle to bring internet connection to most of its territories, with only a percentage, sometimes low, the privileged who have access to Internet . Under the World Day Internet in 2009 National Institute of Geography and Statistics (INEGI) reported that as of March 2008 only 13.5 percent of Mexican households had Internet at home, with similar statistics in relation to Argentina, Chile and Brazil who also have only tenth of their homes with this technology. However, the options in developing countries are increasing by universities and institutions like the UN who created the first online university with free tuition, which is intended to encourage access Internet and online education in these countries than offset the rising cost of college tuition in the world.
