Distance Learning Delivery Methods
Cable
Cable allows students to take cable courses in the convenience of their home. Courses are broadcast on Oceanic Time Warner Cable digital channel 355 and 354 and video-on-demand channel 358. Courses are either live or pre-recorded. In most cable courses, there will be an online component for outside class communication, material distribution and assignments.
Interactive Video (ITV)
ITV allows students to take a course from one location while the instructor teaches from another. Class meetings are held at a specific time and place (synchronous). Both instructor and students can see and hear each other, simulating a face-to-face class environment. In most ITV courses, there will be an online component for outside class communication, material distribution and assignments.
Online
The Internet allows students to take a course from home using a personal computer. Depending on the online course, students may be required to log in at a specific day and time (synchronous) or at anytime (asynchronous).
