Idaho State University Distance Learning
There are three different types of Distance Learning Courses offered ViCC, EssTec, and Fully Online . These courses are offered every semester depending on the Departmental need and availability of resources at the distant location.
ViCC - Video Conference Classroom
ViCC classes feature two-way, audio/video communication with the instructor present at one site. Classrooms generally have a technician on-site. Students participate in class discussions through either keyed or open microphones and video cameras in the room. ViCC classes may also involve other technology components including web-based activities. It is essential that the course and class information pages or the individual department or instructor be consulted for the most complete information.
EssTec - Essential Technology Component
EssTec classes are those that require the use of the internet, email, special software or other technologies. These technology enhancements may result in "reduced seat time", meaning fewer classroom sessions. Internet use, off-site computing capabilities or other technology requirements may apply. It is essential that the course and class information pages or the individual department or instructor be consulted for the most complete information.
Because ViCC courses are so popular and there are limited sites available a conflict resolution meeting is held with departments each semester after the 2nd work copy is returned. Therefore, all ViCC courses must be finalized by the department when the 2nd work copy is due or they will not be prioritized. Finalized Distance Learning Courses will be reflected on the proof work copy.
All course changes must be submitted to the Registrar's Office in a timely matter to ensure notification to all interested parties. To control such processing, changes must be made via Course Scheduling Workcopy on Faculty Staff Tools. Once changes are submitted The VICC Scheduling Coordinator will download the changes from the web every afternoon. The status field on List Courses in Course Scheduling Workcopy will notify you when the change has been completed on HP1. Changes will then appear on the classes.isu.edu site the following morning.
