Distance Learning at UCLA

Distance learning courses offered through UCLA connect students and faculty through live real-time interaction to sites outside UCLA, including other universities and institutions around the world. Through the use of videoconference technology, participants at both sites can see and hear each other, and multisite conferencing is available to enable students at three or four different locations to take the same course together.

Distance learning courses and videoconferencing can take place wherever there is a network connection to the Internet, which includes 80 percent of general assignment classrooms at UCLA. In addition, there are facilities on campus dedicated for use as distance learning classrooms and for videoconferencing.

For more information, contact Don Roby at (310) 206-7449 or send e-mail to vidcon@ucla.edu. For further information about the classrooms that have Internet connectivity, see the Office of Instructional Development Audio Visual Services website. For course ID numbers, times, and locations, see the appropriate department and course listing section of the Schedule of Classes.

At press time, no distance learning courses are scheduled for Winter Quarter 2010.

Distance Learning for Less Commonly Taught Languages

In order to make the most of language resources available at the University of California campuses, the UC Consortium for Language Learning and Teaching encourages the use of distance learning to promote access to the less commonly taught languages. Through UC Simultaneous Enrollment, students can enroll in language courses that use videoconferencing to bring students and faculty members from different campuses together.

Other UC Campuses Incoming Videoconferencing Courses

In 2009-10, UC Berkeley is offering language courses in beginning, intermediate, and advanced Danish, advanced Filipino, intermediate Khmer, intermediate Swahili, elementary Wolof, and elementary Zulu via videoconference. Each class session is transmitted via Internet videoconferencing to UCLA so that students at UCLA can participate and interact in real time with students in the UCB classroom. UCLA videoconferencing sessions are held in the Instructional Media Laboratory, 270 Powell Library Building.

UCLA undergraduate students can request enrollment in the UCB classes using the Undergraduate Application for Simultaneous UC Enrollment form. Applications are available online or from the student affairs advising offices in the College and schools. Graduate students may enroll through the Intercampus Exchange Program; applications are available at Graduate Admissions/Student and Academic Affairs, 1255 Murphy Hall.
