Valdosta State University uses the BlazeVIEW learning management system to support online learning for VSU courses. BlazeVIEW-supported courses range from web-enhanced courses where traditional face-to-face instruction is supplemented with online features such as syllabi and lecture notes, to courses that are taught fully online with no on-campus attendance requirements.
