    DISTANCE LEARNING:

    Distance learning is defined as alternative deliveries of instruction other than strictly face-to-face contact with the instructor. Under distance learning, the definition of instructor “contact hours” is expanded to include a variety of instructional methods such as videotaped/televised lessons, electronic conferencing (e-mail, chat stations, collaborative on-line laboratories, etc.), telephone conferencing, residential conferences, etc. In all cases, the distance learning program must offer the employee opportunities to interact with the instructor. Distance learning programs that rely predominantly on print-based correspondence, will continue to be denied for salary point credit.
