UMass online program offering real face time - HOLLY ANGELO, the Republican
A $650,00 grant from Sloan Foundation will allow UMassOnline to offer blended programs, which bring together on-site classroom learning with online learning. UMassOnline was launched five years ago and has 22,000 students enrolled in 69 online degree programs offered by the five UMass campuses in Amherst, Boston, Lowell, Dartmouth and Worcester. "This (blended programs) is going to become a very hot trend across the country and the world," said David J. Gray, UMassOnline chief executive officer, yesterday. "The whole idea behind the notion of blended programs is it mixes the best aspects of face-to-face instruction with the best that e-learning (online) has to offer."
