IU Kokomo course pairs online learning with in-class instruction - ERIN SHULTZ, Kokomo Tribune
IU Kokomo isn't alone in the push for a marriage of technology and education. Entirely online classes are an increasingly common part of college. Across the country, students are showing up in their bathrobes and slippers. In fact, the National Center for Education Statistics estimates 93 percent of public four-year colleges offered online courses by the end of 2004. Kokomo is leading the IU system in this fusion, Hakes said. IUK is the only public college campus in Indiana developing this format. The fall semester boasted about 90 credits available in the hybrid classes. A student could take courses for a full three years this way, Hakes said.
