What is Distance Education, and which courses are offered?
In general, Distance Education at Chabot College refers to the alternative mode of course delivery, usually at a “distance” from the classroom or campus, but the real benefit is the ability to obtain education “anywhere, anytime.” In general, DE courses fulfill the same general education and transferability requirements as regular courses, but the course is delivered in alternative modes such as the internet, video, CD-ROM, or any combination, sometimes with on-campus meetings. Coursework can be completed at the campus, at home, or almost anywhere – flexibility is key. Students don’t necessarily need to be technical (although for fully online courses you should be at ease using the internet and have an email account), but most importantly they need to have the discipline to complete their coursework according to the guidelines set by the instructor.
