Students meet more than 20% of the time face-to-face with the instructor at the regularly scheduled class time. Students should be prepared to communicate via email with the instructor on the first day of the class. Please visit Distance Learning website for more information and to view the technology requirements for all web-based and web-enhanced courses.
Telecourses
Telecourses require that students view weekly programs via television or CD-Rom, then complete assignments using a text and study guide. All telecourses have a "T" section prefix. Students may be required to come to campus (usually 3-5 times) to review course objectives and take exams. Streaming broadcasts are available via the Internet and on the university's cable channel (Ch. 18) on Insight Communication in Northern Kentucky. Students who do not have TV Cable access may view a reserved copy in NKU's Steely Library or rent a CD-Rom or VHS from www.rmimedia.com.
