21 NCAC 58C .0311         INSTRUCTIONAL DELIVERY METHODS

The principal instructional delivery method utilized in real estate prelicensing and postlicensing courses must provide for the instructor to interact with students either in person in a traditional classroom setting or through an interactive television system or comparable system which permits continuous mutual audio and visual communication between the instructor and all students and which provides for monitoring and technical support at each site where the instructor or students are located.  The use of media-based instructional delivery systems such as videotape or digital video disc (DVD), remote non-interactive television, computer-based instructional programs or similar systems not involving continuous mutual audio and visual communication between instructor and students may be employed only to enhance or supplement personal teaching by the instructor.  Such delivery systems may not be used to substitute for personal teaching by the instructor.  No portion of a course may consist of correspondence instruction.
