SREB/iNACOL National Online Teachers of the Year are capitalizing on technology to engage students in exciting ways.

Benefits include connecting with every student as an individual; differentiating instruction for individual students; and increasing access to courses.

Principles of Good Practice
The Principles of Good Practice were developed to assure students about the quality of courses and programs at SREB’s Electronic Campus. The principles draw upon the work of the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education and other organizations. All Electronic Campus courses and programs have been reviewed against the Principles of Good Practice by the offering colleges or universities and have been coordinated through the state higher education agency.
