Orientation: Getting Started with Distance Learning

Start Here

Distance learning provides students with the opportunity to take the same classes offered on campus but in a different format. Distance learning courses may be completed at home, while stationed abroad, or on the road, if traveling.

Participate in a Live Webinar

Webinars are a great way to interact with an ELI staff member live and see some of the many online tools you'll use as a distance learning student.
