The University of Akron, in conjunction with the Department of Political Science and the Bliss Institute of Applied Politics, use state of the art technology to provide high quality instruction to students beyond the traditional classroom. Courses are taught using live video conferencing equipment and a variety of web programs and multimedia tools.
Students meet at the same time in specially equipped classrooms in one of several designated sites, including facilities at Columbus State Community College in Columbus, Ohio. Students and instructors can communicate using live television monitors and microphones. The instructor may lecture, lead discussion, and engage students in an activity much like in a traditional, face-to-face classroom.
Distance learning in especially convenient for students who are unable to travel to the Akron campus to attend courses because of job responsibilities, family obligations, locations constraints, or other time commitments.
