LCC Media TeleCourses

Hello. Welcome to Lane Community College's multimedia distance learning website for Understanding Movies: The American Cinema and The Photographic Vision.  These are  credit courses that are taught to students who are separated by time and/or space from the instructor. The courses are for anyone whose family or professional responsibilities make it difficult to attend on-campus classes, and are directed toward the student who is an independent, self-motivated, and flexible learner.

For important and up-to-date information about the courses click on FYI telecourse information. Important reminders about exams, papers, dates, and general information will be found on this page. You should check this page at least once per week throughout the term.

VIEWING PROGRAMS

Taking a telecourse requires a disciplined and controlled environment. Watching each program will demand your undivided attention. It is recommended that you do the readings in the texts before viewing the programs. Every week the video lessons will be broadcast on Comcast Cable channel 23 and on Charter Communications Cable channel 9. Each lesson will be cablecast several times during the week. If you miss any program at home it may be viewed in the LCC library on the main campus.  Videotapes are also available for 2-day checkout at no charge (limited to one tape at a time).   PLEASE NOTE. Students with access to cable television should watch and/or record the programs at home. This helps make the checkout tapes available for students who don't receive cable.
