Published on Nov 23, 2015
Starting in 2013, The Ohio State University’s Office of Distance Education and eLearning partnered with the College of Arts and Sciences to create high quality online versions of popular general education courses. These courses were created to allow for flexibility in access for Ohio State students and to engage with high school students via dual enrollment. Since 2013, 26 courses have been developed (with 10-15 more scheduled this year) and the project has expanded to additional colleges and departments within Ohio State. Over 2800 students are enrolled in these online GE courses during Autumn Semester 2015.

Our team is passionate about the role technology can play at Ohio State. We love what we do. Our mission is to provide students on and off campus with an enriched educational experience for a lifetime of learning through technology-ready classrooms, centralized learning systems, innovations in technological pedagogy, and distance education opportunities.

Some College Ready Ohio partner schools (and other schools throughout Ohio) were without modern teaching and learning tools, while other partner schools were leaders. We wanted to create a network across the districts that allowed for peer learning amongst the catalyst teachers. We also wanted schools to learn from those using modern tools as a means for making an implementation/change framework that was poised for success.

3000+ iPads and MacBooks deployed Fall 2015
The technology is about access and opportunity. Access to modern learning tools, access to the internet, opportunity to collaborate, opportunity to learn digital skills that will follow the student beyond graduation, and access/opportunity to take online college courses from the flagship Ohio university (if they are academically ready) and opportunity to take college courses from other higher education institutions in Ohio.
We created a pilot run of online College Credit Plus courses to districts outside of central Ohio during Autumn 2015.
We are expanding reach each semester across Ohio to provide greater access to those students who are interested and ready.
No cost to the student or their family. College Credit Plus creates a system in which the local school district and the student's high school pays for tuition and instructional materials. The credit the student earns from Ohio State counts towards high school graduation and on their higher education transcript. An innovative approach to college affordability and reducing time to degree.
