Many of the instructional support services that students would expect to be available on campus are now available online.

This section will provide information on the following:

Library Resources

The extensive resources of GALILEO (http://www.galileo.usg.edu/) are available to all eCore students. GALILEO stands for Georgia Library Learning Online. As a world wide web-based virtual library, it provides access to multiple information resources, including secured access to licensed products. Students have access to over 100 databases indexing thousands of periodicals and scholarly journals. Over 2000 journal titles are provided in full-text. Other resources include encyclopedias, business directories, and government publications.

The community of more than 2000 GALILEO institutions includes the University System of Georgia, K-12 schools, public libraries, technical institutes and colleges, and a group of private academic colleges and universities.

GALILEO Interconnected Libraries, or GIL, is an extension of GALILEO designed to enhance and expand educational opportunities. GIL provides students, faculty and staff expanded access to the information resources of the University System's Libraries by offering a gateway to information resources held in the University System of Georgia (USG) libraries.

GIL integrates into one system, which contains:

  • A web-based online union catalog of all the book collections of the University System (over six million volumes - 60% of the titles are unique)
  • A circulation system with self-service options
  • Fund accounting
  • Cataloging
  • Check-in
  • Control functions

Students may initiate book requests directly from other libraries by using a computer or from within other libraries.

eReserve Materials

Some eCore courses may have supplemental material on electronic reserve at the University of Georgia Libraries. Instructors provide access information to the resources.

Free Online Tutoring

Online tutoring is available for all eCore students in a variety of subjects. Tutoring is available 24/7.

With online tutoring students can:

  • Connect with an e-structor and interact with a live tutor.
  • Submit writing for any class to their Online Writing Lab.
  • Submit a question and receive a reply from a tutor.
Special Requirements

Certain eCore courses have specific requirements. Therefore, it is important to know about these requirements before signing up for the course. These requirements are listed below as well as in the syllabus for each particular course.

The math and chemistry courses require a TI-83, TI-83+, TI-84 or TI-84+ calculator and the GraphLink cabling and software. Please check the syllabus of the specific course for details on the recommended calculator in your subject area.

  • CHEM 1211K - Principles of Chemistry I
  • CHEM 1212K – Principles of Chemistry II
  • MATH 1101 - Introduction to Mathematical Modeling
  • MATH 1111 - College Algebra
  • MATH 1113 - Pre-calculus
  • MATH 1401 - Introduction to Statistics
  • MATH 1501 - Calculus I

The Calculus I (MATH 1501) course requires that students submit their worked examples -hand written or produced in Word- for the four major Online Exams. For that reason, students are required to have access to some type of recording device to capture and submit their work:

  • Microsoft Word to demonstrate their work in a text format or
  • Digital camera, phone camera, scanner or webcam to submit a photo copy of hand-written work completed

The science courses require lab kits and equipment. Please check the syllabus of the specific course for details and costs.

  • PHYS 2211K - Principles of Physics I
  • CHEM 1211K - Principles of Chemistry I
  • CHEM 1212K - Principles of Chemistry II
  • GEOL 1121K - Introductory Geosciences I
  • BIOL 1011 - Introduction to Biology

The Human Communication (COMM 1100) course requires that students create audio/video recordings in some assignments. For that reason, students are required to have access to the following:

  • Webcam with microphone, video camera, or computer with camera preinstalled (such as a MacBook or iMac).
  • Headset (headphone and mic), or microphone and speakers.

The Electronic Technologies in Educational Environment (ETEC 1101) requires that content be developed in Microsoft Word and Power Point.

The Intermediate Spanish I (SPAN 2001) and Intermediate Spanish II (SPAN 2002) courses require that students complete several activities in the external Supersite platform that accompanies the Enfoques textbook. Students must purchase the Supersite Plus Passcode in order to gain access to both of the two required activity tabs within the Supersite environment. Students will also be required to create audio recordings in some assignments and must therefore have access to a headset (headphone and mic), or microphone and speakers. Finally, students will be required to develop content in Microsoft PowerPoint.
