County's online courses are a hit - Donnie Fetter, Augusta Chronicle
Columbia County Schools' first foray into online course offerings proved successful enough in the 2004-05 school year to continue the program for summer school and in the fall, officials say. "We're real happy with it," said Michael Canady, the director of alternative programs for Columbia County Schools. "It's turning into a real viable option for our students." Bill Tankersley, the school system's instructional technology specialist and facilitator for the Columbia County Schools eLearning Academy, estimated 75 percent of students who took the courses during the past school year and are taking the courses in summer school did so for more remediation purposes. He and Mr. Canady hope to change that. "We were really looking at students who needed to catch up, usually ones who had failed something," Mr. Canady said.
