Telecourse students are not required to have access to computers at home, to have Internet access or e-mail. Direct instructor to student contact is required for orientation and for testing. Homework and other materials are submitted by mail or through the LRC drop boxes. An instructor may contact the student personally for orientation and make arrangements with the student for proctoring exams but this is not the intent of a Telecourse. Students at a distance from the LCC campus should consider a Teleweb course instead.
Instructional communication is between the instructor and the student.
The course orientation, quizzes, tests, midterm, and final exam are completely handled by the instructor. Tapes are to be duplicated at 4 hours per tape not as individual lessons per tape. Instructors will be 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. All paper materials distributed and received by the instructor are the responsibility of the instructor.
