Distance Learning

Distance Learning at BCC

The distance learning program at the Blackfeet Community College is in its early stages. The college offered online courses for the first time, spring 2004 and is entering its fourth semester in offering online courses for the community. The program started off only offering very few courses and that number has slowly grown to twenty courses. The distance education coordinator is proud to announce that Beginning Blackfeet Language, who is taught by Marvin Weatherwax, will be offered for the first time online in fall 2005.

The National Science Foundation grant has made this program possible by partnering with MSU – Bozeman. The Burns Telecommunication Center’s staff has provided unlimited support to the college and helps host the annual WebCT training. There have been about 25 faculty and staff members who have participated in this training.

The program could not exist if it was not for the wonderful faculty and staff that play a major role in this endeavor. Teaching online was very difficult in the beginning for the faculty but everyone continued to make adjustments and is doing an extraordinary job that is why we are proud to offer the following classes.
