You are encouraged to actively locate a faculty member who would be willing to serve in such a capacity during your first few months on campus. Pictel interactive compressed video system brings students together electronically once a week in interactive sessions using discussion, debates, demonstrations, and seminar-based learning experiences. These sites are usually located on the campuses of Colorado's community colleges. Posted on the home pate are professional book reviews, program bibliography, and pictures of cohort members. Each class being taught has its syllabus, all pertinent handouts, assignments, and power point presentations posted on the home page for easy access.
Students are able to download all readings, assignments, and presentations prior to class each week.
This is used for electronic discussions between compressed video meetings. Asynchronous listserv discussions allow students to keep in touch during the week. Private e-mail between student and faculty member allow for a personalized electronic journal to be kept by the student and reacted to by the faculty member on a weekly basis.
