The University of Kansas offers more than 120 different online courses. Barbara Romzek, interim senior vice provost for academic affairs, said she wants that number to grow over the next year or two, but not before the Lawrence, KS, institution takes the time to thoroughly assess its distance learning program and the value it provides to those students who use it. In place for several years, and in its current state since 2009, KU’s distance learning program allows students to receive college credits using the same materials and instruction offered in the college’s classrooms. The online courses cost the same as traditional classes, plus an additional mediated, per-credit course fee, which is used to fund the program. The online classes can be started at any time and must be finished within six months.
