University System of Georgia Chancellor Hank Huckaby named a task force Thursday to look for ways to improve how the system’s 35 colleges and universities provide online education. The effort will be part of an initiative aimed at increasing the state’s college graduation rate.
`The economic future of Georgia depends upon more Georgians completing some level of college education,` Huckaby said in a prepared statement. `We have to make better use of our distance education resources and ramp up our efforts to help us meet state workforce needs.`
Lisa Rossbacher, president of Southern Polytechnic State University in Marietta, Ga., will head the 10-member Distance Education Task Force.
The panel also will include Georgia Perimeter College President Anthony Tricoli and administrators from Georgia Tech and Kennesaw State University.
