Information about buying textbooks will be sent upon receipt of course registration. Each week of class, a videotape is prepared and sent via UPS to students. They view and study the tapes at their convenience. Students may share tapes but must make such arrangements themselves. The ICN is a two-way interactive video and audio system.
Students see and hear the instructor live from other classrooms live from their site.
In Iowa each county has several ICN classrooms. The earlier you submit your registration, the better chance ISU has to reserve an ICN classroom in your area. If you take an ICN course but miss a session and want a videotape of the session, this can be arranged through contact with your professor and the Extended and Continuing Education Department. Payment is to be made by credit card. Students choose a proctor, have tests sent to the proctor, and then arrange a test-taking time.
