About Auburn University
Located deep in the rolling hills of East Alabama, Auburn University is one of the South's premier land grant institutions. In 1856 the university first opened its doors for 80 students and a faculty of six.
Today Auburn is the largest university in Alabama, with an enrollment of approximately 22,000. Students hail from all 50 states and nearly 100 foreign countries.
The goal of AU Online is to provide convenient access to services and information related to distance education. It is our desire to provide you with a quality Auburn educational experience conveniently accessible in your home or in your work place. Take advantage of modern telecommunications technologies to expand your personal knowledge, advance your career skills, or earn a college degree.
Distance Education Delivery Modes
WWW
Many courses will use the Internet and the World Wide Web (WWW) to distribute instructional material and to communicate. Web materials may be in HTML format, may be electronic text files, video/audio streaming, or other formats. A contemporary computer system, an Internet Service Provider, and peripheral equipment would be required to use these resources. Some courses will use a more comprehensive web delivery system called WebCT .
Video Cassettes
A number of AU distance education courses use video recordings of on-campus classroom sessions as a significant part of the instructional material. These recordings are usually on regular VHS 1/2" tape in the standard North American NTSC format. Classroom tapes are usually recorded and duplicated simultaneously with the live class session and are mailed to students within 24 hours of the class session. Other pre-recorded video cassettes frequently provide other course materials. Students whose program includes the use of video cassettes will need to have an up-to-date and good quality tape player.
Audio Cassettes
Some distance education courses at Auburn University use audio cassettes as a supplemental instructional resource. This material is recorded on standard audio cassette tapes typically in 30-, 60- or 90-minute lengths. Students can play these tapes in their autos or at home through a common consumer audio cassette player.
E-Mail
A significant amount of communication between you and your instructors, your fellow students, and service offices at Auburn University will be conducted via E-Mail. You will need to have frequent and easy access to a computer, have an account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP), and have a E-Mail software package to use.
CD ROM/DVD
Some course materials, in a few cases all of a courses instructional material, is found on a CD ROM. Some material is being recorded now to DVDs. You will need to have an up-to-date computer system and associated equipment to access these materials.
Face-to-Face Meetings
Some programs will require a few campus or off-campus “face-to-face” meetings, i.e., meeting in person with your instructor and classmates. When this type of meeting is used, it often is fro initial orientation of for program completion tasks. You should review the information for your particular program of interest in order to discern what, if any, “face-to-face” meetings are required.
Text
Yes, text is still used to deliver some course content. Of course, most courses will require a textbook and other types of printed handout material. And sometimes this is even in the ancient format of type on paper. Please bear with us as we gradually move into contemporary society!
Telephone
Yes, the standard telephone or cell phone is still a useful tool for communicating with your instructor, service offices, or your fellow classmates as you study at Auburn University.
Audio Conferencing
Auburn University courses occasionally use audio teleconferences as a method of gathering its students together for a live, interactive session. All this requires is a common telephone (preferably a speaker phone) with a mute function. Auburn has use of a telephone bridge device which connects multiple phone lines together and electronically conditions them for an effective live audio class session. Sometimes the calls are toll; sometimes they are toll-free–as specified in your program information.
Satellite Broadcast
Auburn University has a television studio, broadcast classrooms, and a satellite uplink (transmitter) that allows Auburn to broadcast live and recorded events direct from campus to any location across the U.S. or overseas. You shouldn’t expect to use our live satellite broadcasts for your credit courses from Auburn. However, as a professional needing skills and knowledge upgrades, you may one day attend an Auburn satellite broadcast at a downlink site (live satellite reception) in your locale. We have frequently used local schools and other public facilities with satellite reception capability to distribute our educational programs.
Open and Closed-Circuit Broadcasts
Open Broadcast refers to the use of standard television channels for distribution of educational programs. Auburn often distributes special educational programs via public television stations; however, we rarely use this delivery mechanism today for our distance education credit programs. Closed-Circuit Broadcast refers typically to the use of cable television or closed-circuit microwave distribution of televised programming. Again, today this is unlikely to be used for our distance education programs since our student body is so dispersed nationally.
Computer Conferencing
Several of distance education programs use streaming media to deliver course content. Occasionally students can access class activities live via this mode, as well as communicate with the faculty member and other students via chat or audio. A number of live interactive systems are being investigated for potential use in our programs. These will allow some of the program activity to be conducted live, in real time.
Fax
While not a requirement, a fax machine or computer fax capability is a handy thing to have when delivering material to your instructor or receiving material from your instructor or from the library.
