Online learning has been increasing in popularity for several years. Even prior to COVID-19, many colleges and universities around the country were offering at least a few courses online. With the onset of the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, these options have gotten even more popular. Heidi Meyer, associate dean for academic programs and student affairs for the college of business at Cleveland State University, and Judy Muyskens, vice president for academic affairs and dean of the college at Hiram College, said online learning has become a great mode of education. Meier said CSU provides the most flexibility in terms of delivery mode of courses in her opinion. It has 100% online programs, hybrid courses which are half online and half face-to-face.
