The University of Missouri System will soon unveil a new e-learning portal, a one-stop shop where potential students can browse online courses and enrolled students can better manage their schedules. Zac March, UM’s director of distance and e-learning education, showed off the technology at yesterday’s Board of Curators meeting. It’s expected to be running in the coming weeks in time for would-be students to start enrolling for summer and fall classes. System administrators have been focusing on boosting e-learning for several years not only to compete in a changing market but also as a way to find new streams of revenue. Last year, MU developed Mizzou Online, which combined previous programs aimed to educate students from a distance.
