Distance Learning
Distance learning is a means of providing access to instructional courses and programs for students who are separated by time and physical location from a faculty member. Courses are the same as VC courses offered on-campus in terms of academic quality, outcomes, credit hours, transferability, and cost. Distance learning courses are provided via the Internet and interactive video. The VC internet address is http://www.vernoncollege.edu/distance-education-1188.
In addition to extensive training required for faculty members teaching these courses, quality criteria and standards have been set to ensure courses offered by telecommunications meet the standards the college requires of its courses offered on-campus to regularly enrolled students.
