In this way, WGU is similar to CU Online in its function as an indexing service. Inc. WGU education providers Because WGU serves mainly as a listing of courses for these participating providers, there is no uniformity in the types of courses offered by each provider or the delivery method used. For example, Utah State offers four bachelor's and six master's degrees, and conducts most of its courses via synchronous and asynchronous Web technology. All courses and programs offered through WGU are collected in a searchable format called the SmartCatalog. All in all, the SmartCatalog is pleasingly efficient - easy to use and simple in format.
Some courses also have links to web syllabi that faculty have put up.
Another helpful aspect is the delivery mode glossary that the SmartCatalog provides. This discusses in detail the various delivery methods employed in courses and the hardware required by a student to utilise them. WGU will certify competency and learning, so that individuals can obtain certification or recognition for what they have learned, no matter where they have learned it. Courses One of WGU's aims is to work as a directory of distance education courses available from multiple education providers. You'll enroll through WGU and pay the tuition and mandatory fees to WGU, no matter which education provider is teaching your course.
