Distance or distributed learning
Distributed learning allows students to take courses even if they are not in the same location as the teacher.
Distributed learning may involve:
- online instruction;
- streaming video; and
- some face-to-face classroom time.
Why choose distributed learning?
- To take a course that the school does not offer.
- There is a scheduling conflict and a course cannot be taken at the school.
- A missed deadline to take a school course.
- For part-time students who need the flexibility to work.
- To make up a course that was not successfully completed.
- If the student is out of the territory for part of the school year.
