South Alabama looks to expand online learning offerings - Renee Busby, AI.com
Next fall, more students at the University of South Alabama might be watching their professors while sitting in their dorm rooms. The university wants to expand a "hybrid delivery system" through which students could listen to lectures online while also having a schedule of regular classes. The interest in the new approach comes as Internet instruction enjoys rapid growth at U.S. campuses. Online enrollments in higher education rose 12.9 percent last year, according to a survey of 2,500 colleges and universities by the Sloan Consortium, a group dedicated to high-quality online learning.
