Distance Education
Many courses are delivered over distance education, and the format for delivery may be two-way interactive television or web-based instruction. Certification for Teacher of School Media and entry-level certification for public librarianship can be completed through distance education; however, the entire M.L.S. degree is not available through distance education. Students will need to plan to complete 6 to 12 credits in Indianapolis to finish the M.L.S..
The following courses are delivered over interactive television or online annually:
- S551 (Summer session one; formerly L527)
- S504 (Summer session two; formerly L520)
- S502, S571, S574 (fall semester; formerly L528, L533, L551)
- S401, S501, S554, S671 (spring semester; formerly L401, L524, L526, L553)
Interactive television—the Virtual Indiana Classroom (VIC) is available on a regular basis at IU Northwest in Gary, IU South Bend, IU Southeast in New Albany, and Indiana University–Purdue University Fort Wayne.
Depending on the content of the course and the availability of qualified faculty, several courses will be delivered over the Internet each year. Students should check the course schedules on the SLIS website. A current description of these courses can be found at http://www.eduscapes.com/iupui/.
