Students need to check with their instructor to find out what procedure is used for the college in which they are enrolled. All telecourse faculty members have some contact with students. The amount and the type of contact are a matter of personal style of the instructor and the policy of the college. One of the principal reasons students enroll in telecourses is for the con venience of not having to spend as much time on campus as they do for traditionally taught courses. Each semester, AETN broadcasts six to eight different telecourses based upon the recommendations of the Arkansas Telecommunications Consortium.
Some colleges offer additional telecourses via their local cable access system.
To find out if a college is offering additional courses, you must contact the college's Continuing Education Department or the Dean of Instruction. Each semester, different colleges offer telecourses and not all the colleges offer the same ones. Students interested in taking a telecourse from a specific college need to contact the Department of Continuing Education or the Dean of Instruction at the college of their choice to find out if they provide telecourses and what courses they offer. AETN can provide a list of colleges and universities that are participating in the Arkansas Telecommunications Consortium and who to contact at each institution. Many colleges have established an agreement with area high schools that telecourse credit may be offered both for high school and college credit.
