How does distance education work?
Distance education allows you to study at home or in your office, according to your own schedule…there are no classes to attend. Generally, each course comes with a manual that may be accompanied by CDs, DVDs, etc., depending on the nature of the course. As well, most courses incorporate websites with computer conferencing, e-mail, and computer-based quizzes using the World Wide Web as an innovative learning environment. Distance education provides a contemporary means through which the University of Guelph continues its tradition of outreach and open learning opportunities.
