Resumen
Télé‐Université is a distance‐teaching institution which is part of the network of the Université du Québec. Its approach is an original and innovative one by the nature of its programme content, educational philosophy, and student services. Using a variety of media, Télé‐Université aims to reach those population sectors of Quebec which do not have access to university services. The goal of Télé‐Université is to provide an alternative educational institution to people who, by reason of geographical or social remoteness, have thus far had no access to institutions of higher education.
The programme content of Télé‐Université is modern and sophisticated, both pedagogically and technologically. The appeal of Télé‐Université is primarily to adults and it is held that part of the reason for its success so far is the alternative educational framework Télé‐Université offers. In spite of the alternative approach, however, compatibility with the existing system is assured, and total convertibility of credit is provided between Télé‐Université and the other Quebec universities.
