Georgia Colleges expanding online learning - Daniel Bell, Rome News-Tribune
Three of Rome, Georgia’s higher learning institutions have joined in online learning, and administrators say they have plans to expand their online offerings and take learning beyond the classroom.At Georgia Northwestern Technical College, students have a variety of choices for online learning. The college offers courses that are taught entirely online, courses that are considered hybrid, meaning that about 50 percent are taught in a classroom, and courses that are Web enhanced, meaning only parts of the classes, such as testing, would occur on the Internet. Georgia Highlands College has been offering online courses for a few years. This semester Highlands has 948 students taking 37 entirely online classes and 204 students taking 12 hybrid classes. Offering online courses is part of Shorter College’s strategic plan, says Sean Butcher, director of online programs for the institution.
