Distance education brings together students and instructors separated by geographical distance.
The CHTC’s Distance Learning Program provides staff with the opportunity to participate in training experiences via the Internet within their local agency setting. Over one hundred twenty-broadcasts and training videos have been developed and produced by the CHTC with topics selected by the Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS), Office of Family Wellness.
Instruction via satellite and webcast has proven to be a cost effective means of reaching a statewide and often nationwide audience. Within that framework, broadcasts provide learning opportunities using lecture, role play and panel discussions. Topics range from “Safety and Sobriety: Real Tools for Working with Women with Multiple Abuse Issues” to “Diabetes and Tobacco: A Harmful Combination.”
