For the first time this spring, students who want to take a class at the University of Baltimore with a Pulitzer Prize-winning civil rights historian won’t be bound by the university they chose to attend. The class, taught by local author Taylor Branch, is the University System of Maryland’s first crack at offering an online, credit course for students from any of the system’s 14 institutions, including Coppin, Towson and the University of Maryland, College Park. The style of online class that UB will offer next semester may be the first of its kind nationwide, said Raymond Schroeder, associate vice chancellor for online learning at the University of Illinois, Springfield who studies MOOCs. Schroeder said he believes other universities across the country may adopt similar online classes, but it will likely take time.
