In this photo provided by Steve Sokolic, Ian Newland, 28, arrives at his home in Denver in October 2007with  his wife Erin, daughter Haley, 6, left, and son Dryden, 4. Sentinels of Freedom, a San Ramon, Calif.-based nonprofit that serves severely wounded soldiers awarded him a four-year scholarship for online studies, placed him in the home in Denver and got him a job at a realty company where he handles phone calls in the information technology department.  The world of online higher education has given thousands of vets like Newland — and active-duty soldiers — the opportunity to work at their own pace. 'Being online, I can work on my college work at 3 a.m. if I'm feeling rambunctious,' Newland said.

What he didn't want to have to do was set foot in a classroom.
