DISTANCE LEARNING
WHAT IS IT?
Distance Learning is a teacher supported, multimedia learning program for adult learners who are unable to attend regularly scheduled classes. The project is designed for adult students interested in improving basic skills in reading, writing and math, workplace skills and GED preparation. Assessment, orientation, training and ongoing contact and support are important parts of the program. Students identify learning goals and create a learning plan with the help of an instructor. Study is self-paced and progress followed and supported throughout the program.
