Distance Education and Blended Learning Opportunities
Portage College offers students access to a variety of learning opportunities through distance education and blended learning experiences. Our distance programming includes courses that are delivered fully online via the internet, as well as through a blending of face-to-face and online and/or video conferencing.
Portage College is continually expanding its course and program offerings, responding to the needs of communities. Using different delivery methods allows the College to provide programs to numerous sites, reaching more students in more communities.
At Portage College, we want to prepare each of our students with the skills and attitude necessary to become life-long learners. Blended course delivery methods expand learning opportunities and assist in the development of technology skills that will help the student continue on their learning path after graduation from our college.

eCampusAlberta is a consortium of sixteen colleges and technical
institutes established to facilitate increased access to high quality
online learning opportunities. The consortium is developing a
collaborative online learning initiative that currently spans across the
province of Alberta.
The mandate of eCampusAlberta is to provide learner access to online courses. Each member institution develops, contributes, and offers its respective online courseware, but also offers other member institutions' courseware. Thus, learners are able to access online courseware in a timely and cost-effective manner.
This collaborative effort is designed to increase and strengthen online offerings amongst the institutions as well as promote seamless access for prospective learners. This strategic and responsive approach ensures that all learners can access post-secondary online learning opportunities at a time and means convenient to them.
