Function

The Utah Electronic College (UEC) promotes USHE institutions' technology delivered courses and programs. Through an information website, online catalog, annual curriculum development RFP, and system-wide professional development activities, the UEC:

  1. Enhances access to higher education. System-level policies allow students to take distance learning classes from multiple institutions. Central coordination eliminates obstacles such as high cost and loss of credit due to transfer problems that students encounter when using distance education. The number of students utilizing UEC registration services is shown below.
  2. Promotes innovation and collaboration among USHE institutions. Competitive, peer-reviewed curriculum development grants support instructional innovation and collaboration and offers incentive to faculty committed to excellence in education. Enrollments in courses developed through the grant program are shown below.
  3. Encourages Best Practices. Webinars, coordinating meetings, and listserv announcements ensure all USHE institutions are current with best practices.
