Distance Learning

Ivy Tech Bloomington offers three types of Distance Learning courses.

• Internet, Online, or Web Based courses:
Internet based courses are taught via the Internet/Web and most of the course can be completed without coming on campus. Internet courses fit your schedule and are not easily canceled, even if you are the only student on your campus. However, there are times when you will need to go to your closest campus or learning center to take a test.


• Hybrid or Blended courses:
Hybrid Courses have significant on campus components and online components. For example, a 3 credit hour course might still meet face-to-face on campus for 1.5 hours a week and the other 1.5 hours of class would be online.


• 2-Way Video courses:
2-way video courses do require you to be on campus, just like a regular face-to-face course. However, through the 2-way video system you can receive courses from other Ivy Tech campuses and even other colleges and universities. You will find specialty courses normally not offered on your campus, or offered at different times than on your campus, for your convenience.

Distance Learning test proctoring:

Proctoring of tests for Distance Learning courses is done in Assessment Center - Room C234.

Testing is done on a walk-in basis during regular Assessment Center hours. No appointment is needed.

Please bring some form of photo ID with you to take your test.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your test has been sent by your instructor. You may want to call ahead and verify that we have your test before you make a trip to campus.  The testing center can be reached by calling (812) 330-6137.
