Distance Learning License Rights
Back to Distance Learning

Extensive distance learning rights are granted to provide institutions with the best possible flexibility for course implementation and content delivery. With a distance learning license, the courses can be offered as traditional telecourses, blended or hybrid courses, or entirely online.

License rights include:

• Delivery of course videos via local PBS or cable station
• Unlimited duplication of course videos / CDs/ DVDs for distribution to enrolled students (e.g., check-out, loan, sale through college bookstore)
• Purchase of student VCD and DVD sets ($25 per set) for distribution to enrolled students (e.g. check-out, loan, sale through college bookstore)
• Referral of course-enrolled students to student store for purchase of VCDs, DVDs, and video streams
• Digitization of course videos for retransmission on PBS or cable, or portable digital storage (e.g., CD or DVD)
• Streaming of course videos as part of blended, hybrid and online courses
• Streaming of video excerpts in conjunction with viewing of entire video programs
• Customizable online content for use within course management systems

If an institution is interested in augmenting an online course with selected programs from one of the courses, a partial distance learning license may be appropriate. Please contact us for details.
