These courses are designed to meet the needs of adults who are unable to attend classes on a typical classschedule. The instructor teaches from this special classroom.
Some students usually are in the same classroom with the instructor.
In most cases, your NorthNet course instructor will be in a different location from your location, and your classmates will be located in various classrooms throughout the state. The NorthNet system provides a two-way interactive telecommunications system allowing communication between the instructor at the originating site and students in various receive sites. It is like being in the same room, except that they are miles away. At any time, you can see only one site at a time on the television monitor at your site. Participating in a distance education class requires students to use some special strategies in order to get the best possible learning experience.
