>>Update: I hadn't noticed the "definitions" section before. It states that "participating students" (which went down a little in the meantime, to 485,000) include:
>>
Students that have completed a class within the last five months
>>Students currently taking a class that is in session
>>Students enrolled in a class that starts in the future

World-wide. But it still seems a lot, to me.
Our main course is "networking" (4 semesters), but there are a few other ("sponsored") courses, for instance, Unix, Java, and others.
In the local academy where I work, most people register for the networking course, relatively few for other courses. I suspect the situation is similar all over the World, but I am not quite sure (the sponsored courses are relatively new).
