What is distance learning at College of DuPage?
Distance learning programs and support services can be found at the college’s four Centers for Independent Learning (CILs) located on campus in Glen Ellyn and at three neighborhood locations: Bloomingdale, Naperville and Westmont. These centers are committed to helping busy, self-disciplined adult learners who need a flexible and convenient learning option to the traditional classroom. The CILs administer and deliver instruction for a wide variety of distance learning formats. Course materials are distributed by a variety of media, including printed text and study guides, video or audiotape, computer software, Internet, TV cable and radio broadcast, and interactive television. Technology also allows interaction between the student and instructor. The CILs collectively served 25,000 enrolled students during the 2002-2003 academic year. Distance learning courses are all supported by a comprehensive offering of student services found at each of the centers.
