Distance Learning
Distance learning refers to online, correspondence, and interactive video
courses. Distance Learning provides opportunities for students who for one
reason or another are unable to attend courses in a face-to-face classroom.
Distance learning makes access to higher education possible for many high
school or college students who might not otherwise be able to enroll in
these courses. Follow the links below to learn about the types of distance
education opportunities that are available in Illinois.
