Oklahoma City University’s distance learning program uses live streaming technology which allows remote students to interact with a live classroom. Flexibility is offered for geography, although all classes are recorded for students to access at their convenience. OCU recognizes limitations in their programs and identify the states where students can attend from; the website also lists the local contacts for distance education complaints. Online graduate programs are offered in business, criminology, energy legal studies, energy management and nursing. Most programs are offered synchronously, meaning that there are firm schedules of attendance; each course instructor sets attendance requirements. OCU uses Desire2Learn as their content delivery platform; technical support is readily available for all distance students. Additional resources and services available include academic advising, library access, counseling services and the career services office.
