Distance Learning
IUPUI’s Community Learning Network (CLN) offers classes off campus year-round and on the weekends. Through television, CLN connects college-bound learners in metropolitan Indianapolis and central Indiana with the academic and technical resources at IUPUI. Lectures are delivered over public television, WFYI-TV Channel 20, Time Warner Channel 19, Comcast Cablevision Channel 39, or by videotapes purchased from the IUPUI Bookstore. Syllabi are offered online. Students interact with peers and faculty through computers, fax, telephone conferencing, and voice messaging systems. Students may complete all requirements for the School of Liberal Arts Associate of Arts and the School of Continuing Studies Associate of Arts in General Studies degrees through CLN. Each semester, new courses are offered over the Internet. Visit www.cln.iupui.edu for more information.
Internet and Online Courses
Increasingly, Internet programs are part of the way IUPUI offers classes. Internet programs use e-mail, the Internet, computer conferencing, and other Internet-based applications. Students often can complete program requirements without going to a learning center. Currently, course descriptions are online, and over 2,600 courses have their syllabi and, in some cases, all class materials online via Oncourse.
Off-Campus Sites
In 1979, the nation's first major off-campus Learn and Shop College Credit Program began offering classes in the training rooms of major department stores in three suburban Indianapolis shopping centers and in area high schools. The program now teaches at two permanent sites: Greenwood Learning Center and the Park 100 Learning Center. The Weekend College Office is located in the Enrollment Center, open Saturdays and Sundays during the fall and spring semesters.
Indiana College Network (ICN)
This system delivers classes from seven Indiana universities and several independent colleges over satellite, intercampus television networks, the Internet, CD-ROM, or through correspondence. The ICN evolved from the earlier Indiana Higher Education Telecommunication System (IHETS), which delivered programs by satellite to 300 receiving sites. For information, visit www.icn.org.
