NAU Distance Learning Live Help

Satellite

Satellite-delivered classes are a type of instructional television class. During an NAU instructional television class, the professor and class members are taped for later broadcast by satellite. NAU operates the Universityhouse Channel 9411 on EchoStar's™ direct broadcast satellite service (DBS) available throughout the United States and its territories. You can watch the taped class in the comfort of your living room, office or work site if you subscribe to the EchoStar service through the DiSH Network™. When you enroll in the class you are shown the times and dates the class is scheduled to be broadcast over the DiSH Network™.

While watching the taped version of the class or afterward you can send questions to the instructor and conduct discussions with other students using the web or email. Assignments are also handled through the web. Some tests may require you to go to a testing center. If you want to take satellite-delivered classes but do not have access to a computer you can use one of our computer labs.
