Rep. Noem Hosts E-Learning Roundtable - Hailey Higgins, KELO
US Representative Kristi Noem met with administration and students in South Dakota Universities to talk about online learning.Noem used e-learning while obtaining her degree in 2011. As co-founder of the bipartisan Congressional E-Learning Caucus, she now wants input for future higher education legislation that's coming before congress. "What I was surprised about when I got to congress, there is not a caucus that specifically talks about e-learning. A lot of members of congress haven't gone to school in a long time so they don't recognize how the modern way of learning is happening," Noem said. Noem is hoping to take the lessons she's learning here to make things easier for educators both in South Dakota and across the country.
