Class only a click away - Julie Wurth, News-Gazette

As a first-semester freshman, Madison Aiello was leery of piling too many hours into her class schedule at the University of Illinois this fall. So she signed up for four classes on campus and two more eight-week UI courses online: introduction to theater and integrative biology. With 16 hours of classes, a slightly above-average load, Aiello can better manage her time by doing part of her course work online, at her own pace. "It's just easier," she said. On today's campuses, students mix easily between the face-to-face classroom and the online world, sometimes in the same course. http://www.news-gazette.com/news/local/2015-11-22/class-only-click-away.html
