From professional development to public outreach, BroncoLearn continues to make strides as Boise State University’s central training platform.
BroncoLearn has become a powerful tool for academic units, administrative departments and external partners alike. As of mid-July 2025, the platform has hosted over 35,000 learners, generated 542 unique course listings, and returned $22,491 in revenue – 90% of which goes directly back to the departments creating the content.
Supporting every corner of campus
With 39 active training catalogs, BroncoLearn is a vital part of how Boise State departments educate students, support staff and connect with the community. Training catalogs include programs from the Academic Integrity Office, Career Services, Center for Teaching and Learning, International Student Services, Campus Operations, and Public Safety, among many others.
Whether it’s PCI compliance training, FERPA, driver safety, or tenure and promotion preparation, BroncoLearn hosts training experiences for nearly every part of campus.
Innovation in progress
BroncoLearn isn’t slowing down. In July 2025 alone, new releases included Financial Wellness training, InfoEd, and the popular Learning Technology Solutions AI Staff Brown Bag sessions, now available as self-paced courses.
A variety of programs are actively in development, including:
- Faculty Tenure and Promotion
- Biomedical Research Vivarium
- Children’s Center Employee Training
- Conflict of Interest
Unique collaborations
Some of BroncoLearn’s most impactful offerings come through creative partnerships:
- The Institute of Microelectronic Education and Research launched “Semiconductors for All,” an accessible course designed to introduce learners to Idaho’s growing tech industry.
- Margaret Sass worked with BroncoLearn to adapt her “AI for Seniors” course for online, public access. Its success has been so notable, she’ll be featured on a national morning show this fall.
- The Office of Technology Transfer is collaborating with BroncoLearn to help bring faculty and staff innovations to market by selling intellectual property.
- The AI Brown Bag series, led by Maria Shimel and supported by faculty member Kevin Rank, now has a dedicated BroncoLearn space where learners can review past sessions, dig through chat highlights, and interact with Boise State’s evolving AI community.
Accessible, flexible and growing
BroncoLearn’s model supports Boise State students, employees and more than 7,000 non-Boise State learners, making it a valuable platform for lifelong learning.
