Classes taught online or via video conferencing bring education to places in the state where a community college may be dozens of miles away. The increasing trend is due to colleges updating their technology infrastructure – new servers, monitors and cameras – and more students and teachers learning about the online option, Rose said. “More people, more educators, more faculty are seeing they can do this,” he said. “They can actually teach online.” The Wyoming Department of Enterprise Technology is working on a new bandwidth project to overhaul Wyoming’s Internet connections. A project like that can only benefit the community colleges’ online outreach, Rose said. Like Wyoming community colleges, the Casper-based UW Outreach School says online and distance education is important to expanding their reach across the state.
