Of the 835 courses at West Virginia University at Parkersburg, about 10 percent now are offered electronically or by alternative delivery, said Connie Dziagwa, executive director of communications and public relations. At WVU-P and other institutions, students can take entire courses without setting foot on a school campus. Some alternative delivery classes at WVU-P require a few meetings each semester, but the amount of class time is dramatically reduced.
