That sounds fine
to me. Correspondence courses as defined in the HEOA would/might not even
required the issuing of a credential, so the concerns wouldn't apply.

[InC-Student] Distance vs Correspondance courses in
Survey
|
All,
In doing some research regarding the remote proofing presentation that Renee
and I are scheduled to deliver next week at ATC, I found the following
clarification of correspondence and distance educaiton courses as explained in
the HEOA:
Correspondence Education means:
(1) Education provided through one or more courses by an institution under
which the institution provides institutional materials, by mail or electronic
transmission, including examinations on the materials, to students who are
separated from the instructor.
(2) Interaction between the instructor and the student is limited, is not
regular and substantive, and is primarily initiated by the student.
(3) Correspondence courses are typically self-paced.
(4)Correspondence education is not distance education.
Distance education means education that uses one or more of the technologies
listed in paragraphs (1) though (4) to deliver instruction to students who are
separated from the instructor and to support regular and substantive
interaction between the students and the instructor, either synchronously or
asynchronously. The technologies may include –
(1) The internet
(2) One-way and two-way transmissions through open broadcast, closed circuit,
cable, microwave, broadband lines, fiber optics, satellite, or wireless
communications devices;
(3) Audioconferencing, or
(4) Video cassettes, DVDs, and CD-ROMs, if the cassettes, DVDs, or CD-ROMs are
used in a course in conjunction with any of the technologies listed in
paragraphs (1) through (3).
I propose that we stick to using distance education students as our target
audience and refer to this definition in the survey, although I like adding
something like "...for the purposes of completing a degree or other formal
program." Thoughts?
