Distance Learning

North Arkansas College Distance Education means education that uses technology to deliver instruction to students who are separated from the instructor and to support regular and substantive interaction between the students and the instructor, synchronously and asynchronously. Northark students have the opportunity to take courses online, blended and site-to-site through the learning management system.

Site-to-Site: Synchronous course delivered from one Northark campus to another satellite campus or partner site.

Online: Course delivery entirely through the Internet. A student must not be expected to attend campus.

Blended: Any course combination of face-to-face and Internet delivery of coursework where students on-site attendance is required.

For online and blended courses the student is expected to have access to a computer with these system requirements. Distance education courses are consistent with the standard for courses offered through face-to-face instruction, although some or all of course content and faculty-student interaction occurs through one or more forms of delivery.
