An Introduction to Online Course Development for Engaged Learning at UO
- 1. Welcome to Online Course Development for Engaged Learning! Fall 2015 Cohort #1
- 2. Online Learning at UO: Fast Facts UO began offering online courses in the mid-1990s. We were modest leaders through the early 2000s. Since then, our local and AAU peers have significantly outpaced our own incremental growth. UO currently offers one fully online master’s degree (Applied Information Management, 2000-present). Individual undergraduate courses have been delivered online since 2010. Over 90% of students taking individual online courses indicate that they are living on campus or in the Eugene area. Approximately 96% of students enrolled in online courses are matriculating students.
