The distance learning study mode at NWU works on the principal of interactive white-board sessions. This means that a lecturer is physically standing in class giving a lecture. The lecture is broadcasted to the different learner support centres country wide. You actually sit in class hundreds of kilometres away receiving a lecture. You can also interact with the lecturer and ask relevant questions. During the semester you hand in assignments and at the end of the semester you write an exam.
