Areas previously isolated from the best of educational opportunities will no longer be cut off because of geography. Quality educational programs available in any SREB state can be just as accessible to the students in all SREB states. The Electronic Campus will provide increased economic development opportunities for all SREB states. The new Southern Regional Electronic Campus enables students across the South to take courses electronically at scores of colleges and universities without leaving their hometowns. Students will be able to shop for courses in this electronic marketplace knowing that each college and university has pledged to follow the Principles of Good Practice, a set of quality standards, developed by the Educational Technology Cooperative of the Southern Regional Education Board.
Students can search for courses by subject, level, institution and state.
A. Courses listed on the Electronic Campus are reviewed against the Principles of Good Practice. A limited number of courses is included for the implementation phase beginning January 1998. A. Credits are awarded by colleges and universities that are pledged to the Principles of Good Practice. Just as with any college course, however, students will need approval of the college where they might transfer. Each offering college or university sets tuition and fees.
