Distance Ed

As a leader in technology instruction, California University of Pennsylvania has numerous courses that are currently delivered via distance learning. Classes can originate, and be received at the main campus and from off-campus sites such as our Southpointe and RET centers. These courses are delivered instantly using state-of-the-art videoconferencing systems across the university's data network.

Distance Education is interactive television through video-conferencing units. The equipment used allows the transmission of audio and video between two or more locations for the purpose of delivering instruction, enhancing educational experiences, conducting meetings, and participating in conferences. Some of the equipment includes a multimedia projection system; document stand for displaying documents, photos, and objects; automatic tracking camera; and computer for demonstrating software, accessing the Internet, and making multi-media presentations.
