Utah colleges, universities are embracing future with Web classes - Stephen Speckman, Deseret Morning News

The time is not far off that all college courses will have "some Web aspects" to them. So says Jerry Fullmer, director of information technology for the Utah System of Higher Education. Soothsayer? Nope. In fact, that time is already here for most Utah schools. Fullmer made the statement to Salt Lake Community College officials in a recent request for an extended leave of absence. But his time away from his job at that school has been no vacation, as he's spent it working with USHE. Fullmer and others have been working with Utah's public institutions on using software to enhance a course's Web-based components. Schools like SLCC and Weber State University, which has about 800 courses that use some aspect of Internet technology, have already embraced the future.
