Technology Assisted Study
Students are encouraged to take advantage of the latest technological advances on the campus. Changes continue to facilitate the delivery of distance education classes to the far reaches of the Permian Basin and beyond. These same technologies bring expertise from across the state onto the UT Permian Basin campus.
Current technologies suggest primary techniques are web-based, (course can be completed from an off-campus computer access point) web-assisted, (as one of the learning approaches included with other more traditional methods) and interactive video (multiple sites are connected in real time). The integration of technology as a tool in academic efforts will continue to change. Since UT Permian Basin is a leader in these efforts for students in the state of Texas, no current list can capture the options that may be available in the near future.
Course requirements will vary. They may include specific deadlines or could be partially self-paced. No conclusions about format can be made without communicating with the instructor for the course. In general, these technology-assisted courses require a greater level of individual initiative on the part of the student while offering some flexibility over traditional methods.
