Sets are available from the LRC at the beginning of the semester. This ensures convenient media distribution and tracking and adds physical protection. Distance Education duplicates 35 sets of media for each class. Distance Education cannot guarantee more sets will be ready by the start of the semester if more than 35 students register or if a second section is opened, unless notified at least two weeks in advance. Media will NOT normally be distributed except in sets in cartons.
Duplication is done from the originals whenever possible.
Second generation masters may be necessary when multiple original tapes must be copied to produce four-hour long Teleweb course tapes in a short time frame. Originals are stored in Distance Education. Distance Education is responsible for delivery of the tapes or other media to the LRC for cataloging. Distance Education is responsible for replacing the faulty tapes or other media prior to return of the tape set to the LRC for restocking. For new Teleweb courses, Distance Education will obtain the master tapes, and notify the instructor what is on each tape or other media.
