Controversy surrounding class size is not new to higher education... while budgets push for increasing class size, educators cite the educational value of smaller classes. But, one professor is challenging the notion that size really matters...

"Conventional wisdom deems smaller classes superior. Mr. Boyer, a self-described 'Podunk instructor,' calls that 'poppycock.' He's exploring how technology can help engage students in face-to-face courses that enroll from 600 to nearly 3,000 students."

To read more about how Mr. Boyer engages his class of 2,760 students, see the recent article in the Chronicle of Higher Education at: http://chronicle.com/article/How-One-Instructor-Teaches/131656/
