ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- The Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system is aiming to deliver a quarter of its college credits through .
Gov. Tim Pawlenty and MnSCU Board of Trustees Chairman David Olson announced the goal in a series of news conferences Thursday, including one at the Capitol.
Pawlenty says the goal will modernize college coursework and help bring Minnesota into the iPod age.
Olson says the 32-campus MnSCU system is committed to increasing the number of Internet-earned credits, which reached 9.2 percent during the last academic year.
About a quarter of MnSCU students took at least one online course.
The Republican governor is pushing online learning at both the high school and college levels.
