Federal grant benefits Missouri distance learners - Joplin Independent

The U.S. Department of Education has approved a grant that will extend access to Missouri Southern State University-Joplin's higher education and business/industrial training classes, according to Southwest Missouri Congressman Roy Blunt and Senator Kit Bond. The two lawmakers worked together to secure the funding in the 2004 appropriations process. "The goal of the program is to increase the number of Internet and CD/DVD based courses available to Southwest Missourians," Program Manager Steve Earney said. "This will give our distance learning students Internet access to library resources and permit faculty to develop more lectures, experiments and courses that will be available through streaming video."
