At 5 a.m. this past school year, while her parents and brother were still asleep, Kseniia Borovkova, a junior in high school in Saratov, Russia, signed on to her computer to participate in the live synchronous session of her Syracuse University strategic leadership class that started at 8 p.m. ET.
“I simply loved every part of the course. It was my first time taking a synchronous online credit course. The energetic atmosphere and rigorous course material had a lasting impact on me,” Borovkova says. “My classmates were so engaged, active and supportive.”
