Distance learning at Midland College is planned learning that normally occurs in a different place from teaching and, as a result, requires special techniques of course design, special instructional techniques, special methods of communication by electronics and other technology, as well as special organizational and administrative arrangements.

Through its Distance Learning Program, Midland College offers a variety of non-traditional learning environments:

Online Courses (Web Based) are developed by individual instructors and provide complete course content through use of the Internet. Most online courses at Midland College are taught using the Blackboard Learning System. Students will need to meet specific Hardware and Software System Requirements in order to use Blackboard.

MCNet is an interactive television classroom experience in which students from off-site locations become a part of the classroom setting based at either the main campus or one of the off-campus sites (Big Lake, Rankin, Ft. Stockton, Greenwood, Iraan, and Ozona.) Computer Communication-Based Instruction (CCBI) provides course work through e-mail and/or fax in which students use course and lesson information from a disk in order to complete course/es objectives and send in lessons through e-mail and/or fax.

R.E.A.C.H. Regional Electronic Academic Communications Highway courses are interactive television courses which are broadcast through a special network that includes U.T.P.B., Howard College, and Midland College.
