Iowa's universities hope to boost online education - Associated Press
Iowa's three public universities are overhauling how students can learn online, hoping to fend off a new competitor and make online programs more available. The universities are expected to unveil a new five-year strategic plan for online education to the state Board of Regents this fall. A recent development has added a sense of urgency to that planning. During a meeting this week, the regents noted that the University of Phoenix, a private company, plans to open a campus in Des Moines in September.... Tammy Fernandez, a regional director of marketing and enrollment for the University of Phoenix, said the Des Moines site will feature courses with faculty lecturing on campus for the first and fifth weeks of a course, and students doing mostly online interaction with faculty and classmates during the middle three weeks.
