Enhancing Education Through Technology

• Distance & Online Learning: Supplement courses you take in traditional on-ground classrooms with internet-based courses offered through your Center. You can participate in up to two distance learning courses in any registration period.
• VTT : Video teaching and teleconferencing (VTT) connects you with instructors and students at University Campus and other Centers. In a VTT classroom, you'll actively participate and collaborate on academic projects in "real-time" through the streaming of video, audio and content from a PC, laptop or document camera.
• ICC Internet Connected Classrooms (ICC) provide students with unique limitations in attending a traditional or VTT class the opportunity to participate in a live, active learning environment from any location where they have high speed internet access and a web cam. Whether students take ICC courses from their home or hotel, on board a Navy ship, or from an international location, so long as they have the internet connection and web cam these courses can meet some of the unique needs of the adult learner.
• CD-ROM
