Welcome to the home on the Web for RAVEN (Regional Audio/Video Education Network), Mayland Community College’s distance education initiative.

In this section:

What is Distance Education?

Distance Education encompasses many things:

  • Distance education is the interaction of learner and instructor that occurs when the two are separated by place and/or time.

  • Distance education classes are nontraditional courses designed around the needs of self-directed learners.

  • The classes taught using distance methods maintain a level of academic quality comparable with courses taught via traditional means.

  • RAVEN classes are taught using Interactive Television, Telecourses and the Internet.

  • RAVEN courses are recommended for students who can keep themselves on track and meet deadlines without having to have an instructor to remind them when to do or turn in work.

  • Because time and/or place separate instructor and learner, guidance from advisors will empower students to assess their readiness and potential for success in nontraditional classes.
