Night offerings, online learning meet student needs - Steve Koehler, News-Leader
A snapshot of students attending Ozarks Technical Community College this fall showed 75 percent of them were planning to work, with 90 percent working more than 20 hours a week. While the average age of an OTC student taking a seated class is 26, the average online student is 29 and tends to have a heavy work schedule. "Older students have jobs, families, and lots of other commitments that make online learning not only more attractive but really the only viable way to pursue a higher education," said C. DeWitt Salley Jr., director of online teaching and learning.
