Blackboard is the campus wide software used for distance learning classes.
Blackboard is used to teach online classes, hybrid and web-enhanced classes.

Online: Instructors teach courses online via the web. Online courses and telecourses require self-discipline, self-motivation, and hard work. Distance learning students will not be in a classroom with the instructor. Students must take the responsibility of completing the coursework on their own. 
Online students must have basic computer skills including mastery of email.

Hybrid: Combines the best of both worlds - Internet and seated class.

Web-enhanced: Blackboard is used as a resource for curriculum classes.

Telcourse: Comprehensive instructional packages that include TV based courses or videocassette programs.
This format provides an opportunity for students who do not have computers to take distance education classes.
