UWG|Online: UWG’s online eCore program earns an “A”

Online eCore program earns Georgia top honors from U.S. Chamber of Commerce

Citing the state-wide online eCore program that UWG administers, Georgia has been honored as one of only two states to receive a perfect score of 100 in the category of “Innovation: Online Learning," according to a recent U.S. Chamber of Commerce report. The report goes on to list Georgia as one of only six public higher-education schools to receive an “A” in online learning. More about eCore.

The report also references the Georgia OnMyLine portal in which UWG participates, as well as the fact that the USG has articulated clear goals for online learning efforts at its public institutions.

According to the report,

"In our analysis, Georgia … emerged as leaders in promoting online higher education. [Georgia] had set concrete goals for developing their online learning offerings. The University System of Georgia’s strategic plan called on state institutions to increase access by boosting the number of credits awarded by distance education, and it has set targets for 2011 and 2012…”

“Georgia ... also developed easy-to-use resources for students looking to access online courses and degrees. Georgia’s “ONmyLINE” system provides students with access to more than 100 associate’s and bachelor’s degree programs that are available through public institutions in the state, as well as thousands of courses that are open to on-campus students in search of individual courses. Georgia’s eCore program allows beginning students to take their entire first two years of coursework—the core courses required of all Georgia graduates—completely online…”
