Students say online classes are easier, convenient - McKenzie Womack, LSU Reveille

As the University attempts to stay relevant and increase online learning opportunities, students say online courses are easier and more convenient. The University currently offers online learning for graduate programs with 17 students enrolled, but that number should increase in the fall and next spring as the University “ramps up” its efforts, said Associate Vice Chancellor for Enrollment Management David Kurpius. “Higher education across the globe is going through dramatic change, and online education and technology are major factors,” said Interim LSU System President and Chancellor William “Bill” Jenkins. “Students are looking for more course accessibility, whether they are online or part of hybrid classes, and it’s important for universities to meet those needs.” http://www.lsureveille.com/news/article_7a3b0f6e-ac6e-11e2-b7c1-0019bb30f31a.html
