Members of the Tufts University Schools of Arts and Sciences and Engineering faculty voted in December to adopt a new policy on online courses. The policy outlines a two-tier system for approving online courses and expands the web-based courses that count toward graduation from two to five, which represents a semester’s worth of courses, according to the chair of the Education Policy Committee (EPC) David Hammer. “We wanted to make room for online courses in the schedule,” Hammer said. “We wanted to create an atmosphere that would allow experimentation and innovation.” The new policy replaces a temporary one that faculty adopted two years ago when they agreed to revisit the policy in the future, Hammer explained.
