Students favor summer online courses for convenience - Bailey Wright, UConn Daily Campus

Keeping up with increasingly digital times, colleges across the country have begun to offer more online courses to students in order to provide a more convenient and interactive learning experience. UConn is no different. Every year, the university offers 35 to 40 new online courses for its shortened summer session, a popular time for students to earn credits away from campus, Associate Director of UConn eCampus Desmond McCaffrey said. The Uconn eCampus provides a resource for students and faculty to interact regularly in a variety of ways. One of their programs helps faculty design online courses.“One of the things I’m happy to see is the breath of opportunity,” McCaffrey said about the new courses being offered in the summer, particularly those online. http://dailycampus.com/stories/2016/3/2/students-favor-summer-online-courses-for-convenience
