 Distance Education and Virtual College

Students across Northern Ontario can participate in live classes via CENTRA (web enhanced audio conferencing)  from any Regional Campus, Contact North site , or even from their home computer and high speed Internet (from home is referred to as “Virtual College”). In addition, some classes are delivered by Video Conferencing technology accessible from any Confederation College Regional Campus or select Contact North sites.  CENTRA and Video Conferencing resemble classroom-type delivery allowing two way communication in real time. Students are able to listen, speak, see visual materials such as PowerPoint presentations, photos, or written communication via an electronic whiteboard.

 As a Distance Education (DE) student you can log in from your home or office via Virtual College.  For more information call 475-6550
