Many prominent schools are beginning to see how online learning is shaping the education front. As a result, they are starting to convert some of their course and program offerings to the web-based format. Some universities are only converting general education courses to the online medium, while others are taking whole programs and making them web-based. Furthermore, various states are pushing schools to include online courses, which could slash tuition prices and allow more people to attend. For instance, University of Georgia recently announced that it will be offering more online programs in the near future. First of which will be a masters degree in reading education, which will be offered next fall, according to the Athens Banner-Herald. Officials told the news provider that the program will mark the school’s third fully online program offering. They added that the web-based curricula are next step in the evolution of education. However, the school has been slow to adopt the Internet as an effective learning model.
