This extended the reach of thecourse by offering it in a distance-learning format utilizing electronic delivery initially over thestatewide K-20 network and then using WebEx. This format included the use of a traditionalclassroom equipped with television cameras and sound equipment to transmit the learningexperience to the distant Community Colleges. Students taking the course at remote CommunityColleges could view the class live as it was happening and ask questions in a real-time fashionjust as if they were sitting in the traditional classroom.

The employers expressed that they are looking for someone whocan truly engage and hold a conversation with them.

Theauthors’ perspective is that a lack of prerequisite knowledge or a lower GPA does not necessarilysuggest a lower potential. Furthermore, the authors feel, a well-designed course should includeappropriate resources to support all students. It is worth noting that additional resources canbenefit students beyond a target audience, as suggested in studies on Universal Design forLearning [12][13]. Thus, additional resources for some can ultimately help many more.A goal for the CATE system is to provide an environment in which all students can succeed
