Distance education at the

University of Ottawa

Distance education courses at the University of Ottawa are delivered in one of three ways, generally according to the program of studies. The method of delivery depends on what is available at the delivery site. Not all sites are equipped in the same fashion, and not all courses are offered in every center. Live, interactive courses delivered via audio or video conferencing – These courses are taught in a specialized classroom usually on campus and are broadcast live to other classrooms in several cities and towns in Ontario. Students can interact in real time with the professor: cameras and microphones transmit sound and pictures between the various classrooms. The professor uses an electronic whiteboard linked through the Internet to the other classrooms to present lecture material. These courses are offered only in those sites equipped to receive them. This varies according to the program of studies and the demand in a particular area.

Our distance-education centers are located in Cornwall, Hawkesbury, Pembroke, Toronto and Windsor.

Audio conference courses with a Web component – Some

courses are delivered via live audio conference, with support material available online. This type of delivery allows more students to take the courses, which can even be taken from home. The students can listen and talk to the professor in real time. They must have access to a computer with Internet, as well as basic computer skills and a telephone line separate from their Internet connection. This course delivery method is used by the Faculty of Health Sciences, the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies and the Faculty of Education.

Online (Internet-based) courses – These courses are offered

completely online. Students must have basic computer skills and, of course, access to both a computer and the Internet. For some courses, the students may have to travel to the campus to take part in course-related activities. This type of course delivery is used by the Faculty of Health Sciences, the School of Graduate Studies and the Faculty of Education. All these courses have some form of Web component that can be found on the Virtual Campus at the University of Ottawa.

All members of the University community can access the Virtual Campus using their official University ID and password. These are also used to access the uoZone service.

Students get a personalized class list of the websites of their courses with online components and can navigate seamlessly between the Virtual Campus and the uoZone service. In addition to the course websites, links to all aspects of mediated learning are offered on the Virtual Campus: copyright information, library databases and resources, an FAQ section, a download zone with links to popular online learning tools and more.

The Virtual Campus is accessible from any University of Ottawa web page from the Quick Links drop-down menu or directly from www.tlss.uOttawa.ca.

Special students are governed by regulations and conditions published on the back of the Special Student Registration form.

Auditors

Registration procedure – Graduate studies

As a general rule, all graduate students must register in person, but students taking courses at off-campus locations may register by mail. Students working part time on a thesis or major paper away from Ottawa may also be permitted to register by mail, provided they apply in writing to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, and provided there is evidence they are maintaining adequate contact with their supervisor.

Classification of graduate students

Graduate students declare their classification when completing their registration forms. The classification cannot be changed after the deadline published online in the list of important dates and deadlines. For details, please consult the calendar of the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies.
