What are the differences between Internet, Independent Study/CD-ROM, Cablecast and Telecourses?
Top Telecourses are aired on KOCE, students follow the dates in the course handbook and turn the required work by the due date. Quizzes are submitted on scantron, and students will come in for a midterm and final. Cablecast courses are only for local students, the lessons are aired on local cable channels, these classes follow the same outline as the telecourse. Internet courses also have a syllabus to follow, all quizzes are submitted online. Students still come in for midterm and finals. CD-ROM courses generally have digitized video lessons packaged with the CD. Students who live outside of the Los Angeles and Orange County (CA) area, see the next question for information regarding taking the midterm and final. More information on the different course types can be found in the Course Types section of the Distance Learning Information page.
