Online courses spark disputes - Paul Garcia, the Weber State Signpost
Burgeoning technology has enabled more than 5,400 Weber State University students to take online classes this semester, and professors like Becky Jo McShane, assistant English professor, are worried about the uniform quality those classes. Students have told McShane the quality of online course runs the spectrum from excellent to poor. She is worried professors may be using online courses as a way to earn extra money. "My experience in developing my own online course and teaching the online course that was given to me has been that we've received minimal training, and the great incentive of teaching online appears to be extra money for the professors that do it," McShane said.
