Georgia colleges explore online courses

By WALTER C. JONES, Online Athens


The University System of Georgia, which oversees the state’s public four-year colleges and graduate schools, has a similar mission to help the estimated 1 million Georgians who dropped out of college get their diploma. That is why it’s looking at the Coursera and D2L arrangement as a way to develop tuition-based classes for enrolled students rather than free MOOCs for anyone on the Web. The next evolution of traditional online courses may be less expensive, more convenient and better adapted to students returning to finish degrees, said Houston Davis, the system’s chief academic officer.
