Abstract
Online education in the past few years has become a very convenient and cost-effective alternative to the traditional class-based education offered on college and university campuses. Its popularity can been seen in the increasing number of online courses being offered by many universities around the world; and the University of Bridgeport is no exception. To handle the increasing demand on online education programs, the current methods and technologies need to be improved to meet the student expectations of ease of use, accessibility and availability. In this work we’re addressing issues in the current online education services provided at UB, such as the standardization of video formats, making the lecture videos viewable on smart phone devices, and making all courses available in a central location.
