With online education becoming more popular every year, Purdue has developed a system which includes an online section using “websites on steroids” to teach students. Last Friday, President France Córdova announced an initiative for college students around the world to access Purdue’s online courses. The system is called PurdueHUB-U and it includes a “blended format” class for residential students. Through this website hub, residential students will be able to learn class content online by watching the lectures, submitting homework and taking tests. The actual class time will be used for activities, more engagement and participation. Provost Timothy Sands said the hope for the project is to give students the chance to have a more beneficial classroom experience.
