Distance learning is intended to be learner-centered to the extent possible.
All courses involve Internet interaction, usually on a course web site.
Some courses also involve videotapes and CD-ROMs. For courses conducted on the Web, only one email address is permitted. For other courses, two email addresses can be used.
