Hi Kellie Marks ! I didn't know about the Nassau Community College program. Thank you very much for sharing. This is an amazing initiative. I have sent them an email. I will also post about it on our Facebook Page. Thanks again.
Hi Kellie Marks ! Making online education accessible and attractive to lower income students is certainly a big challenge. There are several roadblocks to be overcome. In my opinion, the two main problems are access to Internet service (as you mentioned) and motivation (90 percent of students don’t finish their online courses).
