Saga of the eLearning Goat at Hinds Community College](https://hub.hindscc.edu/blog-employee/bid/354027/got-goat-saga-of-the-elearning-goat-at-hinds-community-college) Posted by [Jamie Nash](https://hub.hindscc.edu/blog-employee/author/jamie-nash) on Tue, Aug, 26, 2014 @ 15:08 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) ![eLearning Goat](https://hub.hindscc.edu/hs-fs/file-1520170815-jpg/images/elearninggoat-resized-600.jpg) For two years, the [Hinds CC eLearning](http://www.hindscc.edu/elearning) goat has grazed in e-Learning anonymity until a he became the scapegoat for a litany of hilarious memes, musings, and puns. First, our thanks to [George Takei](https://www.facebook.com/georgehtakei/photos/a.223098324386295.105971.205344452828349/1033095240053262/?type=1&theater) for thrusting our goat into the bright glare of social media. ![Takei Goat Post](https://hub.hindscc.edu/hs-fs/file-1515139284-png/images/takei-resized-600.png) In the best interest of the goat, we decided we should milk this story just a little longer. When the photo was first proposed as the anchor image for the college’s eLearning webpage, it was met with resistance.  “Won’t this open us up to ridicule?”  and “Is this the image you want for online education at Hinds Community College?” said the college communications vice president.  “But, we really like this goat,” said the eLearning staff.  “That lady's definitely learning from a distance. I think she lives by my mom,” said the Director of Web Communications. “Really, what does a goat have to do with online learning,” countered the V.P. “It shows that getting a college education can happen anytime, anywhere,” responded the eLearning staff. “Well, can we at least note the goat is not a student?” asked the V.P. Ah, a middle ground was found. So, the goat and his keeper were left to their field of dreams. ![Float Your Goat](https://hub.hindscc.edu/hs-fs/file-1519342347-jpg/images/goat1-resized-600.jpg) All in all, eLearning is very fond of their animal friend. The online learning staff wants everyone to know that Canvas classes are open to all and not enrolling would be a "baaaaaaad" decision.  For more information about Hinds CC eLearning, visit [http://www.hindscc.edu/elearning.](http://www.hindscc.edu/elearning/) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://hub.hindscc.edu/blog-employee/bid/354027/got-goat-saga-of-the-elearning-goat-at-hinds-community-college#comments-listing) Topics: [Hinds Community College](https://hub.hindscc.edu/blog-employee/topic/hinds-community-college), [Hinds CC](https://hub.hindscc.edu/blog-employee/topic/hinds-cc), [elearning](https://hub.hindscc.edu/blog-employee/topic/elearning), [goat](https://hub.hindscc.edu/blog-employee/topic/goat), [web design](https://hub.hindscc.edu/blog-employee/topic/web-design) [All posts](https://hub.hindscc.edu/blog-employee/all) ### Subscribe via E-mail ### Join the Team!
