The Distance Education teacher's "classroom" is the broadcast studio. This high-tech classroom has many tools and technologies readily available that are seldom found in most classrooms.
Studio Consoles In each studio the teacher has a console with a computer and other equipment which they use to supplement their lessons.

Computers play a big role in expanding the horizons for distance education students. The computer is the hub which provides access to several technologies used by the teachers to enhance the learning experience.

Teachers may utilize the Internet and the school's own network in class to present materials. Students with Internet access may be able to view these materials on their own time as well.
Mathematical, analytical and other software may be used in class, and presentations on computer are used extensively.

Each studio is equipped with an interactive display. This display allows the instructor to annotate over power point slides or web pages. It also has a Smart Board which is used to create a dynamic and interactive tool for creating presentations and lessons.
The graphics tablet Teachers use the tablet as a  blackboard Students see the blackboard on their TV
