Learning in an Online World
Today’s college experience extends far beyond dorm life and the social habits of 18, -19- and 20-something year-olds or hanging out with one’s sorority or fraternity between classes. While such activities still have a place, there is also a place—and a need—for much more.

Before the war, college was mostly a pursuit of the privileged, an unattainable dream for the average American. But after the 1944 passage of the bill, millions of veterans now found the doors of academe wide open and welcoming, regardless of race, religion or socioeconomic standing.
