	"description": "Tell QCC administrators to keep the cap on online classes! &amp;nbsp; Increasing class size will reduce instructor availability and limit meaningful interaction, weakening student outcomes. Keeping caps in place helps ensure timely feedback, effective support, and a strong learning experience for all students. This petition calls on QCC administrators to: 1. Maintain current, reasonable caps on online class sizes 2. Support smaller, interactive, and high-quality learning environments 3. Invest in strategies that strengthen student engagement and support While online education expands access, substantially larger class sizes risk undermining the quality of learning and student success. Online courses are not passive or self-running. They require consistent instructor presence, timely feedback, and meaningful interaction to support student learning. In larger online classes, students are more likely to experience delays in feedback, fewer opportunities for direct interaction with instructors, and less meaningful participation in discussions. Large online class sizes also place significant strain on instructors, making it more challenging to provide individualized support, facilitate discussions, and assess student work in a thoughtful and timely manner. Increases in class size do not affect all students equally. Many, especially those who are newer to college, balancing work and family responsibilities, or in need of additional academic support, depend on regular interaction, clear guidance, and timely feedback. We&#x27;re calling on union members and the entire Quinsigamond campus community to sign on to protect quality education and student support",
