All eCore students have exclusive access to the eCampus Library & Writing Center course at no cost. Students are able to connect with librarians and English tutors one-on-one for specialized assistance with their courses as these individuals also have access to eCore course materials. Examples of the specialized assistance available through this resource include help with research, formatting and citation style, finding study aids, and avoiding plagiarism.
Open Educational Resources (OER) are digital textbooks available inside the course at no cost to the student and are now offered in all eCore courses! You read that right, the textbooks are FREE!
All students enrolled in eCore courses have access to free online tutoring options which can be accessed directly from their courses. Resources include Tutor.com which is available 24/7 for live or scheduled tutoring. In addition, students have access to the specialized eCampus English Tutors in all courses and eCampus STEM Tutors in all Math, Science, and technology courses.
Students enrolled in eCore courses receive support from the renowned USG eCampus Student Success Team, whose model has been proven to increase engagement and student outcomes.. Our outreach starts before the first day of class, with online tutorial classes and personal start-of-term phone calls. During the term, we work closely with instructors to identify and engage with students who may need extra encouragement and resources in order to be successful.
eCore courses are offered through SACSCOC-accredited institutions of the University System of Georgia. Credit is awarded by the student’s home institution, just as courses completed on-campus.
eCore courses are taught entirely online in an asynchronous format, which meanstudents are not required to log in for assigned “class times”. Each course has a syllabus and schedule to follow, but students are free to complete these assignments before work in the morning, on a lunch break, or even in their pajamas after the kids are put to bed. Courses are also offered in convenient 16-week and 8-week accelerated formats, allowing students to control their own schedule and choose what is best for their lifestyle.
Students with special needs or disabilities will find a welcoming, accessible environment in eCore courses. All eCore courses comply with ADA and Section 508 requirements to accommodate students with disabilities or special needs.
Faculty members from universities and colleges throughout the University System of Georgia are selected to teach eCore courses. Current eCore faculty members include leaders in innovative teaching practices and published researchers, just as you would find in face-to-face classrooms. These faculty members are experienced online instructors, and attend additional training in online teaching through eCore.
