In the United States, one third of all college students — 6.5 million people — enrolled in at least one online class at a postsecondary institution, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. And with colleges and universities launching more online programs to meet demand, U.S. News & World Report evaluated more than 1,600 bachelor’s and master’s degree programs to give prospective students the ability to compare schools on factors such as tuition rates, time commitment and area of study.

“Prospective students now have a lot of options when choosing an online undergraduate or graduate program,” said Anita Narayan, managing editor of Education at U.S. News. “For people looking for more flexibility as they pursue their higher education goals, U.S. News has information on relevant factors like accreditation, graduation rates and student support services.”

Illinois’ Rush University’s online master’s in nursing received the number one ranking for nursing programs. For online MBAs, Indiana University, Bloomington and the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, tie for No. 1, while the University of Southern California remains at the top for computer information technology master’s programs.

Online courses offer students greater access to education regardless of where they live or other commitments they may have, according to a report from the Brookings Institution, and have the potential to redefine educational opportunities for non-traditional learners. Online platforms can also be personalized to fit students’ needs, potentially improving education quality.

Hundreds of Indian Twitter accounts including those belonging to news websites, activists and actors were suspended for more than 12 hours on Monday after the government said users were posting content inciting violence.To get more twitter news, you can visit shine news official website.

The move came in the wake of weeks-long protests by Indian farmers against a new farm bill. The protests turned violent last week when riot police were sent in. One demonstrator was killed and hundreds of people were injured including police officers.

An Indian government official said the home affairs ministry had demanded the suspension of “close to 250 Twitter accounts” that were allegedly posting content seeking to foment violence.“The order was issued against accounts that were using the hashtag that started on 30 January,” the government source said.

Those blocked – including the investigative news site Caravan India, the political commentator Sanjukta Basu, the activist Hansraj Meena, the actor Sushant Singh, and the chief executive of the state-run broadcaster Prasar Bharti, Shashi Shekhar Vempati – were silenced inside India without warning and with little explanation, their pages carrying only the message “account has been withheld in India in response to a legal demand”.

Also blocked were two popular accounts linked to the farmers’ protests: Kisan Ekta Morcha .There was no public explanation or detail of the legal demand from the government. The accounts were still visible outside India and were restored inside the country late on Monday after about 12 hours offline.

Since November tens of thousands of Indian farmers have staged a protest camp at Ghazipur, on the outskirts of the capital, Delhi, demanding the repeal of agriculture laws that would loosen rules around sale, pricing and storage of farm produce. The rules have insulated Indian farmers from the free market for decades. Farmers argue the reforms will leave them at the mercy of large agriculture corporations and destroy millions of families’ livelihoods.Narendra Modi’s government denies this, saying the reforms open up new opportunities for farmers to sell their produce directly to private buyers.

The protests have been one of the most serious challenges to the authority of Modi’s government. Farmers make up almost half of India’s workforce.

A Twitter statement on “country-withheld content” said suspensions of accounts or content was routine, arguing “many countries have laws that may apply to tweets and Twitter account content”.“If we receive a properly scoped request from an authorised entity, it may be necessary to withhold access to certain content in a particular country from time to time.”

Chinese fintech giant Ant Group was expected to make its trading debut in Hong Kong and Shanghai on Thursday at a valuation of roughly $310 billion in the world's largest-ever IPO. The debut would have made the company more valuable than each of China's four major state-owned banks, according to Fortune’s 2020 Global 500 ranking.To get more news about ant finance, you can visit shine news official website.

On Tuesday, just two days before the planned listing, regulators in Shanghai pulled the plug, at least temporarily.

The Shanghai exchange told Ant in a notice that changes in financial technology regulatory requirements and other "major issues" meant the company didn't meet the requirements needed to list on its exchange.The news sent shockwaves through the financial world, and came as a surprise to Ant. Just hours before the suspension, the company was still confirming attendees for its planned post-IPO party in Hong Kong, according to Bloomberg.

In a statement on Tuesday, Ant apologized to its investors and said it would "wait for further notice" from the Shanghai stock exchange before making any further announcements on the status of the IPO. It delayed its planned listing in Hong Kong too. Ant did not respond to Fortune's request for comment.

The news throws a wrench in the prospects of Chinese tech firms looking to raise capital. For months now, overseas exchanges have grown increasingly inhospitable for Chinese firms, and markets closers to home—Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hong Kong—have seemed to offer solace. But the mounting problems for Ant offer a sober reminder to Chinese companies that their home turf has its own special set of risks.
