What are distance education
courses like?
Selected Continuing and College Education courses are offered through distance
education. These courses use a combination of
mediums to make them an exciting and flexible learning alternative.
Distance education allows students to "attend class" at their own
time preference. These courses typically use video/audio taped
lectures, website links, power point presentations and printed
materials through a "Blackboard" site. Students become group
leaders and engage class members and instructors in lively discussions
and debates. The latest technology tools are included to make
the distance education classes as exciting and interactive as
possible.
These courses have at least one face-to-face meeting. Distance education courses often
feature local, national and international guest "presenters" who
otherwise would not be able to travel to campus. This additional
expertise helps to enrich the Continuing and College Education
program.
