Online class size

With the growth in demand for online learning and enrollments, many institutions of higher learning are attempting to address the demand for online courses through increased class sizes and a variety of instructional strategies (Power & Gould-Morven, 2011; Morrison, 2015). 

As the class sizes have increased, faculty are also looking at how to develop innovative and different strategies for meeting the needs of not only the large-class size but also the learner.
