Distance Learning courses may use computers, the Internet, cable TV, video tapes, audio tapes, and other media. Some can be taken at home, while others require using media on campus. Some can be taken at a variety of classroom sites around the metropolitan area which are linked in a videoconferencing network. They all include print materials, usually a text and a study guide. Each course is managed by a faculty member who provides a syllabus, holds review and discussion sessions, and serves as a learning resource for the course. Costs and credits are the same as for comparable on-campus courses, and students have access to the same services and activities as do on-campus students.

All course materials, with the exception of tests, are available over the World Wide Web. Access to the instructor, as well as submission of assignments (except tests) will be via conventional mail, e-mail, fax and telephone. For more information, go to the Online Classes page, or call or email: JoelMartin, 410-455-4584 jmartin@ccbcmd.edu.

These courses are aired on CCBC-TV71, the cable channel that is operated by the Community College of Baltimore County on the Comcast cable system in Baltimore County. There are many ways that telecourse lessons can be viewed. For information access the Telecourse homepage, or call or email:  Joan Sarinsky 410-455-4179 jsarinsky@ccbcmd.edu.
 

These courses are delivered via compressed video technology on a network that interconnects CCBC Catonsville, CCBC Dundalk, CCBC Essex, CCBC Owings Mills, and CCBC Hunt Valley. The courses are live and interactive, much like attending a traditional classroom, however, students and faculty may not be at the same location and may be communicating via videoconference. All classroom and attendance policies apply to Interactive Video Courses. For more information call or email: Donald Stitz 410-455-4295 dstitz@ccbcmd.edu.
