*eCampus is used to identify programming that is done completely at a distance. eCampus courses use one or more technologies to deliver instruction to students who are separated from the instructor and to support regular and substantive interaction between the students and the instructor, either synchronously or asynchronously. (Summarized from the language in the new Higher Education Opportunity Act.) These courses may also be referred to as distance education classes.
eCampus delivery methods or instructional modes used at Boise State include:
- Electronic Campus: Internet, Internet-External Partner
