College offers online courses for Detroit school students

Detroit Public Schools and Wayne County Community College will announce today that DPS students will soon be able to log on and attend more than 100 online courses at WCCC. The offerings will help students who want to take classes that aren't available in their schools - typically because of lack of teachers or lack of interest from other students. Cass Tech Junior Joy Alston likes the idea. She is in AP Calculus this year and was planning to attend Wayne State University during her senior year to study more advanced math. Now she says she may take that class online.
