Distance Learning takes place when
an instructor and students are separated by physical
distance
, and technologies are used to bridge the instructional
gap. Distance Learning allows students to take classes
whenever and where ever they choose. When technology
is used in concert with face-to-face communication; this
is called Distributed Learning.
How
are Distance Learning Courses Delivered?
All Distance Learning courses at Thomas Nelson Community
College are delivered via Blackboard, a web-based course
management system. Blackboard uses tools that help students
manage documents, take tests and communicate with their instructors
through discussion boards, online chat rooms, video conferencing
and email.
