Iowa Lakes provides students the opportunity to take courses from a distance via its television system. Classes are delivered to all Iowa Lakes locations and seven area high schools from 7:30 am to 10 pm daily.

Students may take classes through the television system

  • A fax machine is available in all television rooms. This is provided as a backup to the inter-campus mail system.

  • Center Offices should be called to alert them that a fax will be arriving in the classroom and a proctor should receive it.

  • Allow 15-20 minutes for all sites to receive a batch fax.

  • If a line is busy, the fax will automatically redial every 2 minutes.

  • Copies should be made on a regular copy machine and the fax machine should not be used for copying unless absolutely necessary.

  • Proctors are not always in the classroom. Be sure to ask for a student to go to the office and ask someone to get the proctor before faxing over a test.

  • A reminder that we do not tape classes for students who are absent. We will tape a class for sites that have technical difficulties that prevent them from receiving a class.

  • A reminder that only one site can speak at a time so it may be good to direct questions to a particular site and student.

  • The microphone should be put in the center of your body – approximately 6" from your mouth. Remember to wait about 3 seconds before speaking.

  • Try to prepare material sufficiently in advance to allow time for distribution.

  • A form "Instruction Sheet for TV Center" is to be completed by the instructor and sent with directions for all material to be copied or sent to sites.

  • A phone list is located by the fax machine. Please call the Technology Center if any problems: (Day 362-2604 ext. 7941) (Night 362-7941)
