Distance Education Disclosure

In compliance with Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT) Standards for an Accredited Educational Program in Radiography, the program must communicate its use of distance education/delivery as an instructional modality.  The JRCERT defines distance education/delivery as:

An educational process characterized by the separation, in time or place, between instructor and students, which could be either synchronous or asynchronous.  Distance education/delivery courses are taught primarily (more than 50%) through the use of TV, audio, or computer transmissions (broadcast, closed-circuit, cable, microwave, satellite transmissions); audio or computer conferencing; video cassettes or disks; and/or a combination of face-to-face instruction with a distance learning component (hybrid).  

While there are limited asynchronous lectures and blended (hybrid) labs incorporated throughout the radiography program, it is predominantly delivered in person at the western campus in Parma and at clinical sites in northeastern Ohio.  The program uses numerous online instructional tools which supplement in-person instruction.

The college and program are committed to the success of distance learners.  The college provides an orientation to its learning management system, accessible support for distance learners and additional resources including Student Lingo, an online platform offering the following online workshops:
