What is Distance Education?
Distance Education is any learning that takes place with the instructor and student separated from each other by geographic distance or by time, often supported by communications technology such as videotape, television, computers, Internet, or mail.
Distance Education @ UNO
At UNO Distance Education is delivered via three different modalities: television broadcast (Telecourse), Internet, and compressed video.
Telecourses
Telecourses are credit courses that are taped presentations delivered to students via television, video cassette, DVD, or online streaming. Telecourses may require some class attendance, but generally entail delivering a large part of the course’s content via television.
Internet Courses
Take advantage of our growing number of courses delivered via the Internet, so you can study anytime, anywhere. Like Telecourses, Internet courses provide most or all of their content outside of the regular classroom via web pages. Often these courses utilize an online course delivery system such as Blackboard. In addition, CD-ROM or web-based textbooks with links to various web sites enhance Internet courses.
Compressed Video Courses
Compressed Video courses require attendance at specially equipped classrooms around Louisiana.The classes are taught from a designated campus, or originating site. Students at remote classroom sites can interact with students at other remote classrooms along with the instructor via television.
