Distance Learning Is....
any instructional opportunity that reaches
beyond the college campus through the use of technology.
 Technology-based
courses require access to the appropriate technology.
Internet/Web delivery and ITV, Interactive Television
based courses are for students who can function in an
independent study environment. Though all courses are
supervised by West Kentucky Community and Technical College
(WKCTC) faculty, the online student is seldom required
to attend formal class meetings. The electronically delivered
distance learning courses are ideal opportunities for
the self-motivated, independent learner, and the learner
who is working and does not have a consistent schedule.
Courses not offered by the College can be found by checking
with KYVC.
Copies of faculty biographies, syllabus and objectives,
and related links can be found under Faculty Pages in
the Menu on the left.
