Distance Education/ Correspondence Courses

Accreditation by The Higher Learning Commission and Approvals by U. S. Department of Education

What is Distance Education?

Distance Education Distance education means education that uses certain technologies to deliver instruction to students who are separated from the instructor and to support regular and substantive interaction between the students and the instructor. The interaction may be synchronous (student and instructor are in communication at the same time) or

• asynchronous. The technologies may include the Internet; audio

conferencing; or one-way and two-way transmissions through open broadcast, closed circuit, cable, microwave, broadband lines, fiber

• ptics, satellite, or wireless communications devices.
• -FSA Handbook, 1014-15, Vol. 2 , Chapter 2, p. 2-26

What are Correspondence Courses?

Correspondence Courses

A correspondence course is a home-study course for which the school provides instructional materials, including examinations on the materials, to students who are not physically attending classes at the

• school. Interaction between the instructor and student is limited, not

regular and substantive, and primarily initiated by the student. Correspondence courses are typically self-paced. When a student completes a portion of the instructional materials, the student takes the examinations that relate to that portion of the materials and returns the examinations to the school for grading. If a course is part correspondence and part residential training, the course is considered to be a correspondence course.

• -FSA Handbook, 1014-15, Vol. 2 , Chapter 2, p. 2-26

Comparison of Distance and Correspondence Courses

Distance Education

 Technology is used to deliver instruction  Regular and substantive interaction

Correspondence Courses

 Self-paced  Limited interaction between instructor and student  Often printed materials that are mailed back and forth between the student and the school

How is federal aid treated by the two delivery methods?

Distance Education For students engaged in distance education programs/classes where there is substantive interaction by instructors and the work is guided and not self-paced, the format is treated no differently than programs/classes offered in a face-to-face format. Correspondence Courses  Certificate programs that are delivered via correspondence courses are not eligible for federal financial aid.  When establishing a student’s Cost of Attendance,

• nly tuition & fees, and books

& supplies can be considered.

What restrictions are there to institutions in regard to correspondence courses? If a school offers more than 50% of its courses by correspondence or if 50%

• r more of its students are enrolled in

its correspondence courses, the school loses its eligibility to participate in the FSA programs!!

What has Barton done to ensure online courses meet the distance education definition?

All distance education classes are structured such that students cannot work in a self-paced manner. Faculty Council set standards for substantive interaction expectations. Courses/Instructors are eCertified.

According to HLC what programs at Barton can be offered

• nline?

As of June, 2014, 100% of Barton’s approved programs may be offered through distance education.
