Telecourses
Generally, there is no
attendance requirement for students who take telecourses. While the design of
these courses allows students to work freely at their own pace, faculty are
available for guidance during regular hours, without an appointment. In a
telecourse, students read the textbook, review the media components, complete
assignments or projects, and use a study guide to reinforce and review the
material. Printed course materials which pace you through your course are
sent to your home, are made available on-line, or are available for pick up
at the Center for Independent Learning at Glen Ellyn.
Appointment-Based
Courses
During a regularly
scheduled, weekly 10-minute appointment with an instructor, students are
coached and encouraged through their course work. Between appointments, using
the syllabus as a guide to textbook and supplementary materials, students
work on their own.
Open-Lab
and Walk-In Courses
Seventeen math courses and
several accounting courses are offered in a walk-in format. An initial
mandatory orientation is provided to each student. Subsequent assistance from
instructors is available on an individualized basis, i.e., as needed by the
student. Appointments are not necessary. Faculty meet with students on a
first-come, first-served basis.
Group
Instruction
In foreign language courses,
a weekly 50-minute group session with a skilled language instructor provides
the opportunity to use and perfect newly acquired language skills with other
students.
Broadcast Courses
Video lessons of several
telearning courses are broadcast on WDCB-TV. WDCB is available on cable
channels 24 or 63 in Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Naperville, West Chicago, Geneva
and St. Charles.
