Video Streamed Courses

Video streaming is a means of delivering a live course to students by computer. Using a computer, students may participate from any location; however, the course is live and does meet at specific class times. Students can view the instructor; however, the instructor cannot view the students. Interaction takes place in real-time by use of a Virtual Instructional Assistant (VIA). To see if video streaming might work for you, please complete the VS Interface Orientation.

Currently, many video streamed degree programs are offered. Additionally, students can take courses of interest on an independent basis. Refer to our course schedule to identify courses offered in this format. Note that enrollment is often limited in video streamed courses; therefore, students are encouraged to register early.

To participate in a video streamed course, your computer must meet certain technical requirements. You must have a reliable Internet access, an Old Dominion University E-mail account, and depending on the course, students may need to download or purchase additional software.

Course examinations must be proctored. If you live in Virginia, and/or are located near one of our out of state sites, you must attend that site to take tests. Students not near a site must obtain a Proctor to administer tests. Students not near a site will incur costs associated with proctored tests.

For course participation opportunities using this form of delivery, refer to our schedule of classes on LEO Online.

For more information about courses delivered in this format, please contact the site nearest you. If you are not near a site, please contact us.
