Brick and mortar colleges pursue online learning - Sherri Cruz, Star Tribune
Teaching has changed for Kris Keeney. Her students at Normandale Community College don't hand in their papers in class or drop them by her office. They submit them online. Keeney downloads the papers from her home computer and corrects them often while her baby naps. And students can't hunker down in the back of the classroom to avoid being called on because there is no classroom. She monitors mandatory class participation on the online discussion boards. Keeney is one of a new breed of teachers who've learned to teach online and are part of a quiet evolution at land-based universities meeting increasing student demand for online courses and competing with online-only universities.
