Distance Learning
Distance Learning is any type of education in which the learners are separated from the instructor or resources by space and time. By using new technologies, classes can be enjoyed by students at many places, often hundreds of miles apart. The University of West Georgia offers courses through three primary distance learning delivery modes: videoconferencing (GSAMS), and on-line learning through WebCT and Horizon Live. Support services for instructors and students enrolled in these courses are managed through the Distance and Distributed Education Center, located in the Honors House.
