Telecourses
are college level courses taken for college credit, but instead of attending
class, students view the lessons in the convenience of their own homes.
Televised lessons are available as videotape sets which can be checked out for the
semester. In some cases, courses can also be viewed on KETC-TV
Channel 9 (PBS) or local cable stations. Courses consist of the televised lessons, text book
assignments, study guides, and in some cases, use of the Internet.
