How Online Learning Fits in This Fall
Still, online learning remains an important part of the class mix at many institutions this fall. The California State University system, which went almost entirely remote in fall 2020, reports that roughly 80 percent of courses across its 23 campuses will be in person this fall, and 20 percent online, though the percentage varies substantially across campuses. The Los Angeles Times reported last week, for example, that the percentage of classes being held in person this fall is 45 percent at the CSU Long Beach campus, 50 percent at the CSU Northridge and CSU Los Angeles campuses, 65 percent at CSU Fullerton, and 85 percent at San Diego State. -- Inside Higher Ed
