Colleges known for face-to-face instruction are dipping a toe online. This summer, professors from Macalester and St. Olaf plan to offer an online calculus class for credit. For Macalester, it’s a first. Unlike the massive, free online courses making the news, this will be “extremely personalized,” promised Chad Topaz, associate professor at Macalester in St. Paul. He is developing the course with Kristina Garrett, an associate professor at St. Olaf, in Northfield. The pair will video chat one-on-one with students weekly. Enrollment will be capped at about 20.
