More students hop online for classes - Judy Putnam, mLive
The number of students taking online courses at Michigan community colleges has skyrocketed over the past six years. From just 47 courses offered in 1999, there are now an estimated 30,000 "seats" filled in 856 virtual classrooms this semester, according to the Michigan Community Colleges Association. "It's really becoming part of the fabric of the way community colleges offer their programs -- it's just part of the way they do business,'' said Michael Wahl, executive director of the Michigan Virtual Learning Collaborative, run by the community colleges association. Twenty-five of the 28 community colleges offer online programs available through the collaborative, a little-publicized program started by the association in 1999.
