Distance education has
several meanings at The University Center at Ponca City.
The following list will help you interpret how the
instruction for each class will be delivered: |
|
|
ITV-Interactive
Television |
You attend class at the
University Center and
watch a live broadcast of the instructor teaching
from another campus. You can see, hear, and talk to
the instructor and they can see, hear, and talk to
you. |
|
On-Site Instruction |
You attend class at the
University Center where
there is a faculty member from the delivering
university teaching the class. |
|
Telecourse |
Instruction is provided through an
OETA television broadcast. It may be viewed at the
University Center or at home or anywhere you have access to cable.
For some courses, you may purchase tapes of the
broadcasts instead of watching the televised
version. Assignments are provided to you and you
complete your work on your own. The University
Center will be glad
to proctor tests for you, but you must call in
advance to schedule them. You may be required to
attend an orientation prior to the class starting.
(Note: Not all Tele-Courses are covered by Pell
Grants.) |
|
On-Line
(also called Internet or Web-based Instruction) |
You log-on to the website from
anywhere that you have access to Internet.
Assignments are presented online. The University
Center can
proctor tests at no charge, but you must schedule
them in advance. You are also welcome to use the
University Center
Computer Lab. (Note: Not all Internet classes are
covered by Pell Grants). |
|
Independent Study |
This option also provides maximum
flexibility since you may complete the coursework
anytime, anywhere. This instruction is similar to
traditional correspondence study classes. You are
mailed assignments that will be completed after
reading the text assignments. You are welcome to use
the University Center Computer Lab and the
University Center will be glad to
proctor tests as scheduled. (Note: Not all
Independent Study classes are covered by Pell
Grants.) |
|
On Campus |
You must attend class at another
campus. |
|
Other Flexible
Options |
Courses are listed that are provided
at other campuses (NOT at the University Center) but at times that
might be convenient for working adults. For example,
a course that runs all day for 5 Saturdays or a
one-week seminar. These are offered for your
information and are options that you might not find
out about otherwise. |
