There are programs available that encourage ESL (English as a Second Language) people to learn English online through small colleges and Universities.

For diversity learners such as those who are unable to leave their homes to learn due to a disability; maybe hearing impaired which is encouraged online with text driven courses and tools; or visually impaired, where the use of podcasting and audio transfers are adapted.
