Federal grant benefits long distance
learners by: dan-w
Joplin - 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."
"For citizens in rural Missouri,
access to higher and continuing education can be a
challenge. Through innovative efforts like the distance
learning program at Missouri Southern State University-Joplin,
Missourians in rural communities will have new opportunities,"
said Senator Kit Bond. "This program will prepare
even more citizens in Southwest Missouri for good
paying jobs and ensure the region's continued economic
growth."
"Computers and the Internet are
vital portals to learning, especially for those who
live a great distance from a college campus,"
Congressman Blunt said. "Expanding this effort
will mean more people will have access to a college
education which typically brings higher incomes, more
opportunities and greater involvement in the community.
I applaud Missouri Southern State University-Joplin's
effort to bring this new window of opportunity to
more Southwest Missourians."
Missouri Southern State University-Joplin
is putting $65,000 into the project to establish an
outreach center at Monett High School. The $319,106
grant will pay for new equipment that will record,
transmit and receive Internet programs. The last major
computer upgrade at Missouri Southern was five years
ago, but did not include the new technology. Currently,
there are more than 1,500 students from 105 Missouri
towns and villages who are taking distance learning
courses through the Joplin campus.
