World
Wide Web
Courses are
offered via the World Wide Web; an active e-mail account and
Internet access is required. Most web based courses are accessed
through BlackBoard at my.usf.edu
and OASIS may list a website and other information. Contact the
department or instructor for course details, to determine if any
face-to-face meetings are required, and for information about
specific hardware or software needs. |

ITV
Instructional
television courses originate in specially designed classrooms and
are received at other USF campuses (and sometimes at specific
off-campus locations) at the same time or on a tape-delayed basis.
This format allows two-way audio, one-way video communication
between originating and receiving sites. |

Telecourse
Telecourses are broadcast on WUSF-TV and the Education
Channel (for Bright House cable subscribers in Hillsborough County),
DVDs or VHS tapes may be rented for the semester or purchased, and
many telecourses are available as video-on-demand using the
Internet. Telecourses typically use a web component (BlackBoard at
my.usf.edu) for syllabus and
other instructional content; an active e-mail account and Internet
access is required. A few face-to-face meetings on campus are
required for some telecourses. Please refer to the telecourse
listings in the catalog and contact the department offering the
course for additional information. Most telecourses meet Liberal
Arts General Education Requirements; please contact your advisor to
confirm your academic program needs. |

community sites. |
