On-line Education Used to Boost Graduation Rates
The University of Tennessee and other schools are using on-line college courses to keep students from dropping out. Officials hope that students who weary of a traditional classroom setting will turn to online courses, rather than leaving college entirely. The Online Universities Weblog reports that especially targeted are students in the 'stopped-out' category, who are students who dropped out for personal or financial reasons but always wanted to go back. Some are lacking only a semester or two of earning their degree.
