The typical distance learning student has special scheduling needs because of employment, family responsibilities, or geographic distances. Distance Learning courses offer these students flexibility by offering classes online. (Some classes have a DVD component to supplement the online material.) Each Distance Learning class is facilitated by a University of North Alabama faculty member.

DVD

A variety of classes on DVD is offered, ranging from Literature of the Western World (EN 231 and 232) to PS 481 (Contemporary U.S. Foreign Policy). Students borrow the DVDs (which are produced locally) in lieu of attending classes on campus. Many of the instructors have also provided information on the web. Additional DVD class information.

Internet Classes

Similarly, students may take classes via the Internet. These classes feature on-line lectures, List-Servers, threaded mail discussion groups, and on-line testing. Internet classes currently available include undergraduate courses such as American History and graduate level courses like Research and Report Writing. More classes are being added each semester.  Additional Internet class information
