Colorado University Online

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CU_Online

Colorado University Online (CU Online) was one of the first fully accredited online education programs in the United States, created in 1996 by the University of Colorado Denver (UC-Denver). CU Online allows students to pursue the same University of Colorado Denver courses and degrees, taught by the same faculty members, as those attended by students on campus.

CU Online is based at the University of Colorado campus in Denver, Colorado, US. It employs two distinct course delivery platforms, eCollege and Blackboard. CU Online presently offers over 350 online courses, with 10 full degree and six certificate programmes. CU Online had 62,033 enrollments from 1996-2006, and 12,455 enrolled for the 2007-2008 academic year. The typical class has about 30 students enrolled. Four out of five full-time faculty members hold PhDs.

Other Details

CU Online classes involve a strong emphasis on participation in threaded, asynchronous discussions. Examinations may be online, “take home” (in which a hard copy is delivered to the university), or proctored at a physical location.
