Distance Learning Support for Faculty

The CTL supports both Web-based distance learning and interactive video distance learning (IVDL). The center offers instructional design, creative and technical support for Wright State faculty using distance learning technologies.

Web-based Distance Learning

Supplement face-to-face courses or teach entirely online. The CTL's instructional designers and media specialists will give you the training and assistance you need.

Most Wright State Web-based distance learning courses take place in a course management system called WebCT. It gives you discussion forums, quizzes, online grade books and many other features you may use to taylor your virtual classrooms to your needs.

In addition, faculty can do live, interactive sessions online through a system called Elluminate. As students watch your PowerPoint presentation and listen to your live narration, they may participate by asking questions, speaking to the class, answering polls, taking quizzes, drawing on a white board, typing messages in a chat box, and more.

Interactive Video Distance Learning (IVDL)

IVDL connects two or more classrooms with audio and video equipment that enables participants to see and talk with each other, almost as if they were in the same room.
