Distance education is a method of delivering classes to students who are separated from an instructor by time and/or place. Distance education is a convenient option for all students and particularly benefits those whose work or life schedules prevent them from regularly attending classes on campus, who live outside commuting distance, or are homebound.
Taking courses via distance education can increase the flexibility of your schedule and reduce the time you spend commuting to campus.
Enrolling in an online course after the first day of class?? Contact your instructor IMMEDIATELY to be added to the Blackboard site.
Reminder: You need to check your TVCC email address AT LEAST 3 TIMES EACH WEEK if you are taking an online course.
Being successful in a distance learning course requires a high level of self-discipline and dedication that some students might not anticipate. In addition, distance learning courses require a minimal level of computer competency. Taking this short self-evaluation survey will help you discover whether distances courses are right for you.
