Is an Interactive Television class right for you?
Interactive Television (ITV) classes are courses taught at another college and broadcast to Southeast Kentucky Community and Technical College.  The close-circuit TV system makes it possible for the student to talk to the instructor and classmates at the distant location. The class may be broadcast simultaneously to several other community colleges. Students are required to come to SKCTC at the time the class is broadcast. Assignments are submitted by mail, FAX, or e-mail. Students who wish to talk with the instructor after the broadcast may do so by e-mail or phone.  A facilitator is available throughout the class broadcast to assist students with the equipment. ITV allows students to take classes that might not be available locally.

1. Taking this self-assessment instrument will help you determine if a KET class is right for you.
2. I am able to regularly attend the class at the listed broadcast times.
3. I am able to work and learn independently with little need for direct supervision.
4. I am comfortable working with equipment such as microphones and overhead projectors.
5. I plan to allocate at least as much time in my schedule for the ITV course I want to take as I would for a similar course taught by more traditional methods. For most ITV courses this will be three hours in the ITV classroom plus nine to twelve hours a week outside the classroom for assignments and study.

If you answered “yes” to the above questions, an ITV class may be right for you. Before registering discuss the special demands of an ITV class with your advisor.
