Online leArninG From the GCC home page or at http://web.gcc.mass.edu/instructional-technology What to expect from Fully-Online and Hybrid Courses All fully-online and hybrid courses are offered through Blackboard, our learning management system. While these courses offer flexibility, they are not self-paced. Students may be expected to submit weekly assignments and participate in weekly discussions. Course expectations will be outlined in the syllabus. Most students spend approximately 12-15 hours a week participating and completing assigned work in each online course. Students in these courses should log onto Blackboard at least once a day.

Student responsibility in Fully-Online Courses Students registered for a GCC class automatically receive a student email account. This account is used for all college-related correspondence. Log onto your GCC student email account the week before class starts to receive important information about your online class. Your instructor may contact you as well. Students are responsible for checking their GCC email on a daily basis.
