By popular demand, Kent State expanding online class options - Regina Garcia Cano, Kent News
Distance learning allows students the flexibility of taking classes at home in their pajamas or in their office in between meetings. But online classes can also allow students to graduate early or advance their careers. "It can be pretty convenient for students, especially adult students, part-time students who can only study part-time and need to work full-time, or need to work in some capacity," said Deborah Huntsman, executive director of the Office of Continuing Studies and Distance Education. Huntsman said the demand of online classes typically mirrors the demand of ground classes. "We try to offer some of those courses that the largest number of students need to fulfill their degree requirements," Huntsman said. "This way they have the option of taking those classes that they might want to take all by themselves, especially over the summer, so that they can really focus on it."
