<p>Doug Grove discusses practical program development: what works and what doesn’t when building learning experiences for today’s students.</p>
<h2>Quotes</h2>
<blockquote><p>We see a lot of benefits of synchronous class sessions, but we’re not sure every student wants that. There’s a tradeoff with flexibility.<br />
-Doug Grove</p>
<p>One of the mistakes we made when developing some of these programs was trying to be all things to all students.<br />
-Doug Grove</p>
<p>Every program is a little different. One of the bigger mistakes we’ve made was we just took our existing structure and placed it on any new program.<br />
-Doug Grove</p></blockquote>
