Missouri State brings quality instruction to students throughout southwest Missouri at various locations. Faculty for these courses are regular faculty who commute from the Springfield Campus or who use the latest interactive video technology (BearNet), or are qualified instructors from the local community who have been approved by appropriate academic departments as having areas of special expertise. BearNet allows a live classroom-to-classroom audio-video connection. Students are able to see and speak with students and instructors in BearNet interactive classrooms at other sites. The interactive classroom is designed to foster discussion and interaction, while limiting intrusion by technology. These classrooms are operational in Branson, Joplin, Lebanon, Monett, Mountain Grove, Neosho, Nevada, and West Plains.
