Technology provides a powerful tool for learners to acquire new skills and knowledge at their own pace, outside of the boundaries of the traditional classroom. In particular, computer networks (e.g., the Internet) are increasingly being used to deliver online instruction to students any time and any place.
To prepare students to function effectively in an online learning environment, students entering BYU-Idaho in Fall 2000 are required to have one online learning experience to graduate. Approved online courses are designated in the class schedule with section numbers between 801 and 899. These courses can also be used to fulfill general education, elective, or major course requirements. Online courses are to be completed during the regular semester (or term). Because the student controls the online learning experience, a high degree of self-discipline is needed to be successful.
Online courses taken from other institutions or organizations may be approved as meeting this requirement. Such courses must represent collegiate level subject matter, have required a level of effort equivalent to at least one semester credit hour, and have been offered by an accredited college, university, or other well-known credible learning organization. Requests for using an online course not taken at BYU-Idaho to meet this requirement must be submitted to the Registrar for approval. Students must provide a record of course completion such as a transcript, grade report, or completion certificate which clearly identifies the course and institution.
Online course information is available at http://www.byui.edu/insttech/online.htm. A list of online courses is available at http://www.byui.edu/insttech/OnlineCourses/onlinecalendar.htm (select a semester or term).
