Morning Original: Continuing education classes go virtual
Like the rest of the world, continuing education classes have also shifted to virtual learning in order to make career transitions or complete work requirements.
Posted — UpdatedJust like children and college students, adults in continuing education classes are having to shift their learning to virtual classrooms.
Some people take classes for fun. Others are trying to transition into a new career, or gain required credits for their current one.
The real world classrooms are vacant, with empty desks and barely a soul to be seen except for Ken Sikes, who leads the class, and technician Rob Chapman.
"Most of our classes would be 20, 30, 40, 50 people--all the way up to 1,200," said Chapman.
The lounge area would typically be full of people laughing, talking and drinking coffee.
But now the halls and rooms are quiet.
The NCSU McKimmon Center has long offered virtual learning classes, but now Chapman believes it'll be used more often.
