What is
Distance Learning?
Distance
learning occurs when
there is a physical
separation of the
teacher and learner and
when communication and
instruction take place
through, or are
supported by, any
technological means such
as computers, satellite
delivery, interactive
video, or any
combination of present
and future
telecommunication
technologies.
The
benefits of distance
learning are clear:
-
Convenient, flexible
scheduling options
that allow you to
work around your job
and family
commitments to reach
your educational
goals.
-
Academically proven,
well developed
curriculum created
by college faculty,
practitioners, and
instructional design
specialists.
-
Learning that is
technology
based--enhancing
your educational
experiences.
-
Learning options for
students with
disabilities.
At Lawson
Online, our distance
learning takes place
using computers via the
Internet using
Blackboard and Tegrity.
