Simply stated, distance learning takes place when a teacher and students, separated by physical distance, use communication technology to facilitate instruction.

King's College uses two primary modes of Distance Learning. Our distance learning courses are offered online through an interface known as WebCT, where an entire class can be taught without setting foot in a classroom. Also, Videoconferencing relies on two-way, compressed, videoconferencing over ISDN telephone lines.

King's currently offers videoconferencing courses to high school students through our College Discovery program, and to individuals interested in obtaining graduate degrees through our Graduate School and Education Department.
