Distance Education / Open Learning

The Distance Education program, administered by the Office of Open Learning at the University of Guelph, supports the departments in offering degree credit courses to students. Distance education allows learners to study at home or in their office, according to their own schedules - there are no classes to attend. Courses may come with a variety of learning resources, including: manuals, videotapes, audiotapes, audio CDs, DVDs, computer diskettes, CD-ROMs, etc., depending on the nature of the course. As well, most courses incorporate computer conferencing, e-mail, computer based quizzes and the use of the Internet. Distance education provides a contemporary means through which the University of Guelph continues its tradition of outreach and open learning opportunities.
