Video and TV Programs
Video programs for most ELI telecourses can be viewed on line through the college's Video On Demand service at http://www.nvcc.edu/tvcenter/studentInformation.htm. Follow the directions given there to log on. If your programs are not available on line, or your internet access is too slow to view video programs on line, you may access the programs in several other ways:
- Most telecourses are broadcast via NVCC cable television. Lessons are broadcast weekly in sequence and repeated if extra weeks are available.
- Several telecourses are blockfed overnight on NVCC-TV from 11:59pm to 6am. The overnight blockfeed includes all lessons for the course, and in some cases takes two or three nights.
- Most telecourses are available for rental on videotape or DVD from a private rental agency.
- Videotapes of all telecourses are available at campus Learning Resource Services (LRS) facilities, but tapes may not be checked out and VCRs are limited. Viewing tapes on campus can be time-consuming.
- Some courses require viewing videos available from local video stores.
- Some courses require purchase of videos from campus bookstores.
For telecourse and overnight blockfeed schedules, local cable channels, rental agency and other video information, see the ELI Telecourse Broadcast Schedule (http://eli.nvcc.edu/tvschedule.htm). If you start your course after broadcasts have begun, you may view previously shown programs at campus LRS facilities, or, if available, off the overnight blockfeed or rented video. If you experience TV reception problems, call (703) 323-3377.
