Boise State Distance Education Courses Not Part of an Online Degree Program

Online (Internet) Classes: Selected academic classes are taught using the Internet to send and receive course information. Most of these courses are presented in Blackboard, which is a web-based course management system designed to allow students and faculty to participate in classes via the Internet. A few courses are presented in an instructor-designed website. In either case, the student will log onto a specified URL to participate in the class and to use tools and links for class activities and assignments. The majority of these classes do not require the student to attend class meetings in person on any campus; however, some of them have a limited number of required meetings. Special requirements for distance courses are listed in the notes and in-person requirements columns.
