They consist of a textbook, study guide, video tapes, and are guided by a faculty member. You have access to the instructor by phone, the internet, or in person, to discuss questions when they arise. If you are a veteran or on financial aid, you should check with your counselor prior to enrolling in a telecourse. Interactive television courses are very similar to traditional courses because all students attend class at the same time each week. Using the latest in telecommunication technologies, Delta can offer the same class at four different locations at the same time, all taught by the same instructor.
All sites can see and hear the other sites simultaneously over television monitors.
You attend the site most convenient to you. Internet delivered courses are also meant for the independent learner who needs a flexible schedule. The syllabus along with links to assignments, are available on the web and classroom discussion takes place via e-mail, chat programs, and listserv. You only have to come on campus for an orientation session and exams. Going the Distance degree program is a project between Delta and CMU where the delivery of the degree programs are entirely through distance learning.
