Distance Learning at the University of Hawaii Community Colleges
Working collaboratively, the University of Hawaii Community Colleges offer courses leading to an Associate in Arts degree through cable TV, the Internet, and interactive television. You may choose to earn your degree through a combination of distance delivered and on-campus courses.
Cable Television Courses
Cable courses are delivered over public access channels throughout the State of Hawaii. Courses are live or taped and may include an Internet component, such as email or a Web site, for course-related instruction.
Interactive Television (ITV) Courses
Interactive courses occur at a specific time and place, allowing students to take a course from one location while the instructor teaches from another. Both instructor and student can see and hear each other, simulating a face-to-face class environment. ITV courses may include an Internet component and require an e-mail address and a web-browser, such as Netscape or Internet Explorer. View the Interactive Television (ITV) locations.
Online Courses
Online courses are independent of time and location. Rather than gathering in a classroom, students meet online and communicate with the instructor and classmates through e-mail and/or the World Wide Web. Students are required to have an email address and access to a web-browser, such as Netscape or Internet Explorer.
