“Students are definitely interested in more online classes,” said Diane Walker, director of Student Services for Kent State University at Stark. Online offerings make it easier for students to take advantage of classes offered at other Kent State campuses, she said. “If you are a student at Kent State Stark, you can take courses at any campus,” she said. “You might be taking six courses and they could be on any campus but you don’t have to leave your computer.” Walker said she sees all types of students taking advantage of online offerings. “You have to be self-motivated since there isn’t a requirement to come to class,” she said. “That could be a barrier to succeed. It really depends on a student’s learning style.”
