UVa board discusses increased online learning opportunities - LAUREN BERG, Daily Progress

At a retreat meeting Saturday, the University of Virginia Board of Visitors explored ways to enhance online learning and other digital opportunities for students at UVa. As more and more schools across the country — including Penn State, the University of Georgia and Liberty University — offer more online courses and certificates, the technology provides opportunities for a wider variety of students to pursue their education. To explore how UVa might better serve its current and future students, Kristin Palmer, director of online learning programs at the university, presented different ways in which universities and colleges utilize online learning — including enhancing the education of residential students and offering online learning opportunities for off-campus students. http://www.dailyprogress.com/news/local/uva-board-discusses-increased-online-learning-opportunities/article_e16efc1a-7a35-11e7-89af-83ae31ca4331.html
