Iowa State marked its seventh year of growth in enrollment numbers, and with that growth of students comes a need for more ways to learn. The number of online classes offered at Iowa State has been increasing the last few years, this fall nearly 300 classes are offered for students to take in the luxury of their own home. Thomas Brumm, associate professor of agricultural and biosystems engineering in charge of online learning for the College of Engineering and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, sees demand growing. “Part of the reason there are so many online classes is because of the demand there is,” Brumm said. “Students like on online classes, and sometimes they prefer to take them over a face-to-face course.”
