Drake and Drury Universities Collaborate in Pilot Online Program
Eighteen Drake University students are taking selected online courses this summer at Drury University in Springfield, Mo., while 50 Drury students are enrolled in selected online courses at Drake as part of a pilot program in distance learning. The pilot program was established by Associated New American Colleges (ANAC), a national consortium of 20 mid-size, private comprehensive colleges and universities dedicated to the integration of liberal arts and professional studies. As members of ANAC, Drake and Drury were the logical ones to conduct the pilot program because they have similar programs and each institution has more than five years experience offering online courses, said Jan McMahill, chair of the ANAC Distance Learning Task Force and associate dean of Drake's School of Education.... "One of our goals is to increase opportunities for students by enabling them to take courses that aren't offered by their college or university," McMahill said. "Another goal is to broaden the student base in each class so that we have students from different colleges and states interacting with each other.
