Distance Learning

About Distance Learning

"Distance Learning" is usually defined as any teaching-learning environment where the learner and the teacher are physically separated and technology (i.e., voice, video, data, and some face-to-face communication) is used to bridge the instructional gap. "Distance Learning" provides an opportunity for greater diversity in the means of instruction and in the delivery of educational and training services.

Distance Learning Classes:

  • are academically equivalent to traditional on-campus courses and satisfy either general education or elective requirements toward a degree or certificate.

  • allow you to fit work and school in your busy schedule.

  • offer the flexibility to choose where, when, and how often you complete your lessons at home.

  • save time and expense of traveling for those who find it difficult to make it to campus 2 to 3 times a week.
