What is Online Learning?

Some departments in the College offer Internet courses. Using the World Wide Web, students access lectures, participate in class assignments, interact with the instructor, collaborate with other students, and earn college credit.

Classroom activities--bulletin board discussions, chatrooms, assignments, e-mail, and testing are completed online. It is strongly recommended that you have intermediate computer and Internet knowledge and fundamental keyboarding skills to fully participate in an online class. Along with computer skills, certain computer hardware and software is required for online courses.

To determine if you have the appropriate skills to successfully complete an online course complete the two surveys located at "Is Online Learning For Me?"

Check the Online checklist for directions on how to take an online course.
