More students than ever are taking online classes at Rutgers

Richard Novak, the vice president for Continuing Studies and Distance Education, said that the online class has improved at Rutgers over the past few years as newer technologies have been developed and more faculty members have been instructed on how to design their courses and teach online most effectively. A wider variety of courses are being taught at both the graduate and undergraduate level online than ever before, Novak said. “In terms of drawbacks, most students have learned by now that online classes are not easy. This is not an inferior and lightweight substitute for face-to-face classes," he said. "They typically require much greater discipline and dedication." http://www.dailytargum.com/article/2017/10/more-students-than-ever-are-taking-online-classes-at-rutgers
