Online learning courses are beginning to make an impact in liberal arts colleges across the US, an education reporter has said. Writing for Inside Higher Ed, Steve Kolowich noted a number of “top-rated” institutions of this type have begun to investigate e-learning. Traditional universities are familiar with this innovation, he stated, pointing out academia in these buildings was previously imparted through the hosting of lectures in large halls, with this education method easily transferring to the internet. Conversely, the expert explained liberal arts colleges usually had the appeal of “small classes and regular face-time with professors”. These instructors are now examining online training courses that educate students in concepts by using “artificially intelligent tutoring software” in lieu of human lecturers or static textbooks, Mr Kolowich declared.
