What is Distance Education?
A distance education (DE) course is one in which over 50 percent of the instruction is delivered via satellite, compressed video, Internet, or other electronic means. All distance learning courses/programs are subject to the same academic standards as those offered on campus.
A blended course is a distance education course that requires mandatory, face-to-face meetings. However, the majority of it is online.
Distance education courses are highly interactive. In addition, face-to-face sessions are offered in more convenient class locations, and the need for weekly commutes to campus is virtually eliminated. TWU faculty work hard to bring a full experience to distance learning students, and students receive quality feedback and communication with faculty.
