The NSU Center for Statewide E-learning was established by the South Dakota Legislature in March 2001 to fund Northern State University to serve all levels of South Dakota’s educational system through DDN, Internet and videoconferencing technologies. The center serves K-12 schools through distance delivery of DDN/Internet-based high school courses and K-8 enrichment activities; undergraduate students through a broad range of academic and professional programs incorporating multimedia and distance delivery technologies; and graduate students through Master’s degrees in distance education and interactive instructional technologies.
Delivery of courses to the high schools began in August 2001, and undergraduate and graduate programs became available in 2002. These programs strive to educate graduates to be creative and productive participants in modern workplaces where interactive multimedia technologies are significantly changing the nature of most jobs.
