Like all educators, Tim Tirrell cherishes relationships. But in his world, the ties that bind are also binary.
The time-honored relationships between faculty and students are constructed not only in classrooms these days. Unrestricted by bricks, mortar, time or place, they are being built online.
Montana State University Billings has been a leader in the state for online learning since it ventured into the market 10 years ago. Started in 1998 with just five course offerings, the program now stands at around 300 course offerings in three dozen academic disciplines. There are entire programs that are now online and available for students with wide-ranging interests, from an accounting certificate to a master’s degree in communication.
