In case you missed this news item by George Graham at The Republican out of Springfield, Massachusetts, and which appears online courtesy of masslive.com, it features our very own Chief Academic Officer Barbara Macaulay. In this piece, Barbara not only talks about online education advantages in general, but gives her personal insight into her experience as an online professor in contrast to her traditional classroom experience.
