Distance Learning is described as education
which takes place between the instructor and the learner when they
are not in direct contact, eg., the instructor is in one city and
the learner is in another, but information and communication
transfer synchronously or asynchronous through a computer network.
For the distance seminars, the morning speakers present from LSUHSC
in New Orleans and the afternoon speakers present from LSUHSC in
Shreveport. The New Orleans participants are live in the morning but
distance in the afternoon and the Shreveport participants are the
opposite. Broadcasts to all the other cities are considered entirely
distance since the audience will hear and observe the seminar all
day on a tv monitor or a projection screen. If you want to ask the
speaker a question, there is a piece of equipment with a button that
must be activated for you to be heard by the speaker.

DISTANCE LEARNING
A facilitator at each site will hand out
the sign-in sheets for each seminar. Certificates of attendance
are sent out to the participants later from LSUHSC in New
Orleans and the number of credit hours issued is based on the
number of seminars attended as validated by the sign-in sheets.
You need to make sure your name and address are legible so the
certificates can be filled out correctly.
Registration is required for distance since seating is limited.
Handouts are no longer provided for any of the seminars. They
can be downloaded and printed out a few days before the seminar.
