Online college classes transforming education - GEORGE GRAHAM, Springfield, Ma Republican
Online learning education is transforming the ways that colleges and university teach and students learn. American International College, for example, is setting up programs in Egypt, Britain, Ireland and Italy that utilize online learning to augment instruction in those far-flung satellite campuses. "It's very exciting and they are absolutely embracing the fact that we are here," said Roland E. Holstead, AIC's vice president for educational enterprise, speaking during a telephone interview from Cairo. UMassOnline, the University of Massachusetts' online component, meanwhile, is growing by leaps and bounds. During fiscal year 2007, enrollment reached 26,627, up 25 percent from the previous fiscal year.
