The digital generation’s demand for online classes has encouraged universities to increase online course offerings (Boyle, Connolly, & Hainey, 2011). In the past, our school’s response was to choose courses where an instructor was willing, where it was exclusively offered online, and where it was not a core requirement or highly interaction-based. The experience for OB was different; it has both online and traditional sections running simultaneously, it must remain interaction-based, and it is a core requirement of our commerce program. We will review the challenges faced, the lessons learned, and open up the discussion on dealing with these challenges.
