http://edegree.gtcc.edu Moodle (online classrooms): online.gtcc.edu GTCC supports both instructors and students in their use of electronic means of instruction through Moodle, GTCC’s learning management system. Students may use Moodle in traditional faceto-face, webbed, or online courses.

GTCC libraries offer students over 80,000 print and audiovisual items, in addition to professional librarian service 24/7 through a chat box on the library website. The libraries also provide digital access to premium content journals, books, streaming videos, audio books, eBooks and more. Most library services may be accessed at no cost to students, off-campus, through the library website.

• Instructors in face-to-face courses use Moodle to post resources and deploy assignments. • Webbed courses blend classroom and online instruction. Students in a webbed course are expected to complete homework assignments in addition to completing online activities. • Online courses allow students to complete course work without coming to campus in most situations. GTCC assumes that students who sign up for one or more online courses have access to their own healthy computer with a strong internet connection. • Students interested in completing their program completely online should read the eDegree Program section and visit the eDegree website: http://edegree.gtcc.edu

The libraries have open computer labs with full access to library resources, Microsoft Office, the Internet, and other software related to course work. The Jamestown campus also has laptop computers available for use within the library. Printing is available at a nominal cost with a print card purchased at the bookstore. All campus libraries offer wireless access and space for quiet study. Using a student ID card, students can borrow materials from GTCC libraries and most college libraries in the Triad area. Inquire at one of the GTCC libraries for more details. Librarians and library staff are available to assist students with research, assignments, studying, or recreational reading. Students may reach them by phone, email, and chat box, or in person. In addition, free computer literacy courses on such challenges as how to set up research papers are available at each campus library.

eLearning Introduction eLearning Introduction is a Moodle site that provides instruction on GTCC’s online systems. Instructors may require students to complete eLearning Introduction and upload a certificate of completion. Students should keep a copy of their certificate of completion for future semesters.
