In an area where more people have cell phones than internet access, the Louisiana Community and Technical College System is implementing a college program that allows learners to do some of their work using a mobile device.
Their recent press release explains:
"We believe the ability to do some of their course work through the cell phone will be a major draw for individuals," added Dr. May. "Presently, of the 4.2 million individuals that make up our state's population, 25% have Internet access while 68% have cell phones. That means there are a large number of individuals to whom we can offer an opportunity to take courses, earn a degree, and have better quality of life in a more convenient way. We are very pleased to be able to offer this opportunity to our citizens."
This looks like a smart alternative for on-the-go moms and busy business professionals. However, without a good plan, those cell phone minutes could become a hefty addition to regular tuition charges.
Enrollment for the online / cell phone courses begins January 5th on the new LCTCS distance learning website.
