Internet courses are offered through web access to the ETSU course management system, Blackboard Learning System.  Registration for Internet courses is completed in the same way as traditional courses. Students must be admitted to the university before registration. Once registered for an Internet course, most or all of the course work can be completed through participation in the Blackboard Learning System course site.  In some cases a few class meetings may be required.

ETSU Internet courses require that enrolled students meet the following minimum technical requirements:

	Have an active Internet connection - For minimum acceptable performance we recommend at least a 56K modem connection,
	Have a monitor capable of at least 800x600 resolution.
	The ETSU system requires a 5.0 browser( Internet Explorer or Netscape) or better for best performance,
	Have a valid email account - all ETSU students are assigned an email account.
	Skills needed to navigate a course Web site: Familiarity with computers and an online environment are obvious skills needed to successfully use online course management tools. We recommend you have the following basic skills to be comfortable with navigating your course Web site, Browsing the Web, Entering URL's, Locating and opening files on your computer, Using drop down lists, and Entering text into Web based forms.
	Software applications as described Here. Some courses may require discipline specific software.
	See Student Computer Skills for basic skill information.
	Check the Login guidelines Here.

Successful completion of Internet courses requires the student to

	Be willing to learn how to use the course management system student tools,
	Be self-motivated and self-disciplined,
	Be willing to "speak up" if problems arise,
	Be willing to commit 4 to 15 hours per week per course,

Registration for ITV courses is completed in the same way as traditional courses. Students must be admitted to the university before registration.

In ITV courses students attend classes on the same schedule as traditional courses. Each remote classroom is staffed by a classroom facilitator. Courier services are provided for student/faculty materials delivery for all ITV courses to all remote classrooms on a daily schedule.

Video courses are pre-taped courses supplemented with written materials. Students receive the tape set and written materials as course resources. Most Video courses also have text books. Students meet with the instructor initially for an orientation session and other times during the semester on a pre-arranged basis.
