Course Delivery Options: What the Icons Mean
Course Offered via World Wide Web
Courses are offered via the World Wide Web; an active e-mail account and Internet access is required. Most web based courses are accessed through BlackBoard at
my.usf.edu and OASIS may list a website and other information. Contact the department or instructor for course details, to determine if any face-to-face meetings are required, and for information about specific hardware or software needs.
Course Offered via Studio Broadcast ITV
Instructional television courses originate in specially designed classrooms and are received at other USF campuses (and sometimes at specific off-campus locations) at the same time or on a tape-delayed basis. This format allows two-way audio, one-way video communication between originating and receiving sites.
Course Offered via Telecourse
Telecourses are broadcast on WUSF-TV and the Education Channel (for Bright House cable subscribers in Hillsborough County), DVDs or VHS tapes may be rented for the semester or purchased, and many telecourses are available as video-on-demand using the Internet. Telecourses typically use a web component (BlackBoard at
my.usf.edu) for syllabus and other instructional content; an active e-mail account and Internet access is required. A few face-to-face meetings on campus are required for some telecourses. Please refer to the telecourse listings in the catalog and contact the department offering the course for additional information. Most telecourses meet Liberal Arts General Education Requirements; please contact your advisor to confirm your academic program needs.
Course Offered via Videoconferencing Videoconference
Videoconferencing is an interactive process that allows students and faculty to see and hear each other at multiple locations in “real-time.” Locations include all four USF campuses and selected community sites.
NOTE: Multiple icons will be shown when a course uses more than one delivery system or technology.
