A.A.S. TECHNICAL COMMUNICATIONS
Technical Communications is a unique online degree program that is part of
eLearnIT. This online learning experience provides for both an Associate of Applied
Science degree and preparation for students to continue in their pursuit of bachelor’s
degree through a partnership with the University of Tennessee.
This degree represents the second year of the eLearnIT program. Students in this
program will have taken the first year of courses at Nashville State Technical Institute
(NSTI), transferred equivalent courses from another institution, or taken equivalent
courses at Roane State. All eLearnIT courses articulate with and transfer completely to
the University of Tennessee-Martin’s Bachelor of University Studies program.
eLearnIT is an synchronous learning environment, which means that students decide
when to participate in class activities such as bulletin board discussions. This allows
students to work around their schedules. However, please note that all courses do
have an end time clearly specified by the instructor by which ALL course work is required
to be completed AND turned in.
Please keep in mind that eLearnIT is an online degree program, which means that
students must have computer access. Students are expected to have a basic familiarity
with computers and the Internet. For additional information about eLearnIT, including
hardware and software standards and other degree pathways, visit the eLearnIT website
