Televised delivery uses a television network to provide information, formal education, and training at centres away from the instructor. The instructor teaches content through a televised mode.

You can attend televised delivery courses at any SIAST campus or at a Regional College. You will view the lectures on a large screen television and participate in interactive phone-in sessions with the instructor and fellow students.

You will progress through the course materials (textbooks, videotapes, and/or course manuals) independently and may have telephone access to a course facilitator. You will write your exams at a testing site in (or near) your community.

Use the course code to register; the CRN number is assigned by the registrar and is based on the location where you write the final test or exam.

Online learning is distance learning method that uses the Internet. You access course materials by logging into your course anytime and anywhere that is convenient for you. Based on your schedule, you can work for a few minutes or a few hours.

You will have email and telephone access to an instructor. You can also communicate with the instructor and other students through chat groups and discussion rooms or through other conferencing and collaboration tools.

Depending on the course, you may have to attend skill labs and/or clinical experiences where you will apply your newly acquired knowledge and skills.

The online tool we use at SIAST is Blackboard. To gain an understanding of what a Blackboard course is like at SIAST, login to our Blackboard sample course - How to Change a Flat Tire. It does not provide you with the level of interactivity normally found in our online courses but gives you a peek into the interface.
