Homework and other materials are typically submitted by e-mail or through the Blackboard Digital Dropbox function. For special course requirements, student projects, audio or video tapes may be required, which are submitted to the instructor by postal mail or parcel service. In addition to instruction presented on the course web site, Teleweb courses use at least one other media of instruction which is sent to the student by distance Education and typically returned at the completion of the course. This can be a combination of instruction on the LCC Blackboard site plus video tapes, audio tapes, Audio CD, CD-ROM, DVD or other technology. The most common media used is video tape, but other media can be very useful for instruction.
Instructional communication is between the instructor and the student.
The course orientation, communication, quizzes, and exams are completely handled by the instructor. Materials on video tape are duplicated at 4 hours per tape not as individual lessons per tape. Instructors are expected to provide correlation in the syllabus to enable students to identify each lesson or session segment on the video tapes. Instructors will be expected to tell students to stop tapes at the end of each lesson, forward to the next lesson or session, fast-forward over sections to be skipped, to go to the next tape as needed, and to rewind tapes at end. Appropriate correlation between the media and the location of course instruction are necessary for other types of media, as well.
