TeleWeb Courses

What is a TeleWeb course and how does it work?

This is a TeleWeb course, because it combines a Telecourse broadcast on Comcast Cable, with a class web site available on the Internet (Los Rios Online - eLearning - Blackboard), in combination with seven (7) on-campus meetings: Orientation, 4 Review Sessions, Mid Term and Final Exam.

Because both Psyc. 300 (General Principles) & Psyc. 340 (Abnormal Behavior) use multiple distance education modalities in combination with on-campus meetings, this TeleWeb Course can also be considered a Hybrid Distance Education course.

Enrolled students meet on campus at the beginning of the semester for a two-hour Orientation Session. This session will integrate the various elements that make up the TeleWeb class:

  • a television series - Psychology: The Human Experience (Coast Learning Systems) or The World of Abnormal Psychology (CPB Annenberg);
  • a Blackboard class web site;
  • a detailed course outline;
  • a textbook with a companion web site;
    • the reading assignments are followed with quizzes at Blackboard;
  • on-campus meetings for discussion and testing;
  • two 900-word papers.
The television programs are broadcast each week on Sacramento Comcast Cable, and you will answer a number of Video Focus Questions or Video Review Questions and submit the assignment by e-mail.

The television programs can also be viewed in the Learning Resource Center, and rental video tape/DVDs are available at the Media Desk in the LRC.  The World of Abnormal Psychology can also be viewed online from the CPB Annenberg web site if you have a broadband Internet connection.
