Distant Learning Instruction:
TMCC currently offers the following distance learning methods of instruction:
Interactive Video Network (IVN)
This method of delivery is an alternative to the regular classroom instruction methods. This two-way interactive communication system uses cameras and microphones at one site. Participants at other sites can watch and listen to an instructor or presenter on a television monitor.
Internet Courses (online):
A semester credit hour consists of the equivalent of at least one (1) fifty (50) minute period per week of in class and two hours per week of out-of- class student work for fifteen (15) weeks.

The following are examples of activities completed outside of the scheduled instructional time:
- Scheduled weekly chats
- Weekly forum participation
