How does distance learning work? What is a typical course like?
In general, each course runs for 10 to 12 weeks. You will receive instructional materials in the mail. Depending on the course, these materials might include videotapes, workbooks, study guides, selected readings from books, journals, etc. and/ or a textbook. You will have homework assignments based on these instructional materials. Once a week, you will telephone in to a scheduled audio conference with an Instructor and students from around the state who are taking the same course as you. These required audio conferences will allow you to discuss relevant issues and exchange ideas with other students statewide. After the audio conference, you will mail or FAX any homework activities to your Instructor, who will grade them and send them back to you. Your final course grade will depend on your active participation in the audio conferences, the grades on your homework activities, and additional projects assigned in each course.
