Penn State Revamped Web site better serves adult learners seeking online education
"People today use major Web sites for everything from shopping to quickly finding solutions to everyday problems," said Pete Rubba, senior director of the World Campus. "A Web site that offers an education should be just as accessible." Rubba added that the Web site aims to better communicate the breadth of Penn State programs offered through the World Campus as well as the benefits of online learning. For example, an information resources section for current students makes it easy to complete such activities as register for classes or download forms. Prospective students can quickly get a feel for Penn State online with a user-friendly home page. And a frequently asked questions section offers students an opportunity to look for topics of interest. Plus, inspiring "testimonials" from students about how Penn State online degrees and courses have changed their lives appear on many of the pages.
