The Programming Coordinator develops schedules, works with department chairs and the Registrar's office staff on course scheduling for interactive television courses, telecourses, and internet courses. Telecourses Four to six telecourses are offered each semester. Students can view programs that are broadcast via WSJK, ch. 2 and WKOP, ch. 15, East Tennessee's public television station in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Students can also take selected telecourses through video check-out.
Telecourses are comprised of a series of professional produced videos, recommended texts and study guides which have been reviewed and approved by the academic departments. Each course has an ETSU faculty member responsible for developing the complete set of departmental requirements for students enrolled in the telecourses. Students watch the videos at home and meet with the instructor periodically during the semester for tests and optional test or course reviews. Student orientations are held at the beginning of the semester. Although telecourses eliminate the requirement for students to attend weekly class sessions, other regular academic requirements remain.
