Portland State University began offering online courses in 1996. Previous to the widespread use of online curriculum, the university reached out to distant students through two-way video conferencing, televised courses, correspondence study and at remote campus locations around the Portland metropolitan area. Courses were designed with the needs of the student foremost in mind - the student whose work, study, or parenting responsibilities prevented them from traveling to the main campus.
Today Portland State University is a leader in distance and alternative education in Oregon. With over 1,300 courses using WebCT, students enjoy a variety of options for learning that include face-to-face traditional classroom experiences using WebCT as an enhancement, as well as fully online options where students never come to campus. Many programs use a hybrid approach which ask students to come to campus perhaps once per term, but the remainder of the course is online.
