Orientation to Distance Learning
Distance Learning learning refers to courses and programs offered via the Internet. The main difference between Distance Learning and traditional courses is the delivery format, not the content. Distance Learning courses go through the same rigorous curriculum process established by our colleges, and they are taught by qualified instructors.
