How does an ITV Class work?
ITV courses are fully interactive college credit courses delivered via live, real-time television. Click here to visit an ITV class. Courses are taught by Western faculty in actual classrooms or computer labs just like any other college site-based course, and are broadcast live over the college’s video network to a maximum of 4 other sites. Every location has video cameras, sound systems and monitors, as well as support equipment. This allows the instructor to see and hear students at any location while allowing students at any location to see and hear the instructor in real-time. Students at a distance from the instructor can fully participate in the class as if all were in the same location. Additionally, everyone can see demonstrations, share documents, graphics, three-dimensional objects, and other instructional materials over the system.
