P. 6: Add the following new section ONLINE PROGRAMS Many of our courses are well-suited for online delivery. The coursework is transmitted via the Internet and can be accessed via any computer with Internet access and a web browser. The online, asynchronous (not live broadcast) delivery method enables the student to learn on their own time, within a prescribed time schedule in one-week increments. The student has access to the Online Classroom 24 hours a day in our Learning Management System (LMS) which houses the courseware, discussion forums, exams, activities and other important information. The Course Discussion Forum area simulates the class discussion environment; it has relevant questions asked by the instructor and/or by other students. This section allows for interactivity among students and the instructor. Posted questions and answers will allow for facilitated classroom interaction. Students will interact with the course material via exercises related to the subject matter. This interaction is considered “Hands-on” and is delivered through an Internet-based, multimedia program. Online courses utilize multimedia technologies in audio, graphics, animation, and interactivity to deliver a rich learning experience for the student. The asynchronous delivery method is built around a user-friendly interface that clearly defines the students’ learning path and objectives. Page 1 of 49 Required Student Resources – Online Courses Our e-learning courses are compatible with most PCs. The student must have access to the latest version of Internet Explorer or Firefox browser. The student will also need the latest version of Flash plug-in, which may be easily downloaded (at no additional cost) from the Internet. At least a 56K modem connection to the Internet is required, but cable or DSL is highly recommended. Speakers are required and are beneficial for learning. It is also mandatory for students to have anti-virus software on their primary computer, to avoid computer malfunctions that could potentially hinder their online education. If the applicant is uncertain as to his system’s configuration or its compatibility with the College’s Online courses, the Student Success Coordinator will assist in determining his computer specifications.
