Online courses now top live classes at college - Eunice Lee, Desert Dispatch
Online classes now make up approximately 53 percent of the courses offered at Barstow Community College, according to president Dr. Thom Armstrong. In Spring 2009, online student enrollment had jumped to 5,043 from an enrollment of 3,183 in Spring 2006, according to a report that will be presented to the BCC Board of Trustees Wednesday. While the typical online student still tends to be an older working adult possibly with children, Armstrong said, BCC online classes even serve students abroad. That includes soldiers from Fort Irwin, said spokeswoman Maureen Stokes. “If they get deployed they’re still taking classes with us,” she said.
