The Distance Learning program is designed to help clients who
are in need of post-secondary educational service but who
cannot attend fixed time and fixed location classes.
It is anticipated that distance learning students will take
selected courses, transfer to four-year institutions or earn
certificates and technical-vocational degrees via distance
learning. Some on-campus students will use distance learning
to take classes that they otherwise could not take due to
schedule conflicts, and others will use Distance Learning to
shorten the time they must be away from home and
current employment.
As is consistent with the mission of the community college system,
the Distance Learning program will serve a diverse clientele that
may be seeking a single course, a certification, or a degree for a
wide variety of personal reasons. The distance learning program
will make courses available in a variety of delivery formats that i
nclude interactive television (ITV), computer-based training (CBT), telecourses and online courses.
