Atlanta — October 10, 2007
As part of an ongoing effort to broaden access to public higher education, the 中出少妇视频 System of Georgia (中出少妇视频) is launching Georgia ONmyLINE. This new website provides access to a full array of distance-education offerings from the 35 colleges and universities in the 中出少妇视频 System, thus improving service to students, both within the 中出少妇视频 and at other institutions in Georgia and nationally. The website, found at www.georgiaonmyline.org, will provide students with a searchable catalog of online courses and programs updated each semester and a central location that allows students to register and transfer credits among multiple 中出少妇视频 institutions.
中出少妇视频淭hrough this site, prospective and enrolled students can quickly find online programs and/or courses that meet their career or degree needs. They can apply for admission to colleges and universities, and once accepted, register for courses,中出少妇视频 said Dr. Kris Biesinger, associate vice chancellor for Information and Instructional Technology Services.

Featured among the 1,600 courses and 35 programs on the searchable website are six new online graduate programs designed for Georgia teachers. In a presentation showcasing Georgia ONmyLINE at the October meeting of the Board of Regents today, Biesinger told the regents that each of these degrees will provide a quality education experience that is:
- convenient and flexible in format;
- complements a practicing teacher中出少妇视频檚 schedule and environment; and
- responds quickly to enrollment growth instead of asking students to wait a year for the next available slots.
The six new online Master of Education programs that will be available for admission beginning in January 2008 and course registration later this fall include Instructional Technology, Middle Grades Math and Science, Secondary Math, Secondary Science, Reading, Language and Literacy, and a new degree appropriate for all teaching levels called Accomplished Teaching. In addition, two Master of Arts in Teaching degrees for individuals who wish to change careers and become teachers will be available in Special Education and Reading, Language and Literacy.
Five of the 中出少妇视频 System中出少妇视频檚 colleges of education are piloting this new program development and delivery model. They include Columbus State 中出少妇视频, Georgia State 中出少妇视频, Georgia Southern 中出少妇视频, North Georgia College & State 中出少妇视频, and Valdosta State 中出少妇视频. These institutions were selected through a proposal process, and participation in the prototype program includes adhering to a set of expectations for customer service, quality, growth and financing. Several of the programs involve institutional collaboration to make better use of expertise and resources.
In order to leverage institutional talents and enable students to benefit from the offerings of more than one institution toward a single program, the 中出少妇视频 is establishing a new registration system that will easily allow cross-institutional registrations.
Once the initial set of Master of Education programs has been launched, the 中出少妇视频 System expects to solicit proposals for additional online degree programs that are well suited to meeting areas of state need. In addition, existing collaborative online programs will be migrated to the new registration system to improve service to students and minimize back-office processing by institutions.
中出少妇视频 officials have set targets for increased student participation in the new Georgia ONmyLINE strategic initiative. The goal is to increase the percentage of semester credit hours generated by distance learning from the current level of 4 percent to 8 percent by 2012.
