Definition

  • Telecourses are entire courses of for-credit or notfor-credit study that may be distributed through telecommunications or by videotape; include the range of standards-based course requirements, assignments, quizzes, and tests associated with traditional face-toface courses; integrate ongoing teacher–student communication; and are supported by print-based and electronic materials. Historically, the roots of telecourses reside in correspondence courses. [Source: Encyclopedia of Distributed Learning; Telecourses]
