Is Online Learning For You?

What is online learning?  What's different about distance education courses?

Distance learning encompasses a wide variety of techniques to bring learning opportunities to you on your time.   Distance learning at WITC includes courses offered online and  through Interactive Television (ITV).  

The only difference between distance education courses and other college-credit classes is the way you learn.  Traditional courses require you to attend lectures or seminars at the campus.  In a distance education course, you learn to interact with your teacher and fellow students via computer.  You still must understand the concepts, read a textbook, turn in assignments, and take exams; however, most students agree that distance education courses are much more convenient because they give you more schedule flexibility.
