The UW Colleges Distance Education Program offers courses to students at UW-Fond du Lac using four different modes: compressed video, Wisline Web - formerly audiographics, computer based training or online.

These courses permit UW-Fond du Lac to expand offerings and, in the case of online courses, allow students to take courses from their home. Computer proficiency, especially in the use of e-mail and the World Wide Web, is strongly recommended.

Online courses are described in detail at www.online.uwc.edu.

Course Modes Available:

Compressed Video (CV)
Compressed Video utilizes audio, computer, and video links simultaneously. This enables faculty and students to converse and interact with each other's coursework while viewing each other in a real time classroom setting. Note: Additional fees may be assessed for these courses.

Wisline Web (WLW)
Formerly Audiographics (AU)
Wisline Web links an audio connection with the common web-based innovative courseware. This enables faculty and students to converse while interacting with each other's documents and graphics in a real time classroom setting. Note: Additional fees may be assessed for these courses.

Computer Based Training (CBT)
CBT courses are delivered to students on a course website in modules from CD-ROMS. Students complete the modules, submit their homework and correspond with the instructor via email. Note: Additional fees may be assessed for these courses.

Online (ONL)
In UW Colleges Online courses, students and faculty interact with each other as class members totally over the Internet. Instructional courseware utilizes web pages, discussion groups, and e-mail. Online courses do not meet at a particular time or place, but they are structured within the academic semester time frame and require class participation several times each week. These courses have different tuition, fees, and payment requirements. Everything you need to know regarding UW Colleges Online courses is available at www.online.uwc.edu. This resource is updated regularly. It is the student's responsibility to access this website for specific information including all course schedules, deadlines, and payment information.

Textbooks for All Distance Education courses are available through MBSDirect Online Bookstore. MBS Direct provides web-based textbook sales for all online courses offered by the UW Colleges.
