Adult learners interested in enrolling in a credit program still have time to take a course this fall at Penn State York. Two courses are being offered through the Video Learning Network (VLN) and the other is a blended course combining in-person instruction with online work. All three courses are being offered in an accelerated, seven-week format and are offered once a week from 6-9 p.m. Credits earned can be applied toward a certificate or degree program.

Adult learners interested in enrolling in a credit program still have time to take a course this spring at Penn State York through the Video Learning Network (VLN). Most courses are offered in an accelerated seven-week format and are taught in a convenient format combining face-to-face sessions with video conferences and online instruction by Penn State instructors. The VLN was created by the Penn State World Campus as a way to give adult learners easy access to a Penn State degree. Offering courses in this format also will help ensure that courses remain open by aggregating learners at multiple sites.

"The VLN technology provides the ability to network learners in geographically separated locations and connects the students in a rich learning experience through natural real-time interaction," said Jeff Warner, director of continuing education at Penn State York and an instructor in the VLN. Warner also is coordinating the VLN program at York.
