How do ITV, CV and ATM courses work?
(Please visit the Terms & Technology for definitions.) Taking an ITV course is very similar to taking a regular course on-campus, except the professor is lecturing from the video screen. You may be on-campus or at any of the other sites in Maine where the course is offered. Click here for locations of other distance ed sites. You must attend classes regularly, study diligently, and complete your work. If you are taking a course that is broadcast from UMM, you sit in the classroom just as you would any other class. The only difference is that there is a great deal of studio equipment in the room. When attending an ITV class, there are also occasionally other students phoning from other parts of the state. If you have any questions, you may call or email the campus. Many of these courses use a web site for managing assignments and paperwork. Assignments and exams may also be left with your site coordinator.
