More logging on for class: Web-based courses popular with students, profs - Brad Newman, Amarillo Globe News
Amarillo College senior Aaron Boaz chooses to attend class from the comfort of her bed. Boaz works online on her Freshman Composition 2 coursework. This is Boaz's third online course. Instead, Boaz logs onto Amarillo College's Web site to submit assignments, e-mail any questions to her instructor and take exams. "I can bring out my laptop, climb into bed, flip on the TV and do all my schoolwork," said the 20-year-old photography major. A rising number of college students are choosing Internet courses over on-campus classes. Boaz, a full-time student with a full-time job, is enrolled in Freshman Composition II online this semester. It's her third time to take an online course at AC.
