An online course is a complete and inte grated learning program accessed via computer from home, office, or on the college campus. The course includes instructor notes, textbook(s), hotlinks, and remote access to the librar y as well as a variety of other multimedia materials designed to be used b y students and faculty as the principal components of a credit colle ge course. Online courses require that students have access to a computer, the Internet via an Internet Service Provider (ISP), college e-mail address, and basic Web and e-mail skills. Computer specif ications are provided on LCCC’s Web site. ANGEL Learning System is the online platform used for all online courses at LCCC. A demonstration online course is available at http://lccc.angellearning.com. Upon registration for an online course, the Director of Enrollment Ser vices will send a message to your student email account with log-on instructions. Ten (10) and/or twelve (12) week online courses are identif ied in the course listings by the use of “N1” or “N2” as the section number for semester courses (for example, BIO 124-N1), 2N for the f irst five/six weeks of a semester; and 4N for the second f ive/six weeks of a semester (for example, BIO 124-4N).
Webconferencing Through interactive webconferencing technology, students will join class during scheduled meet times via a computer with an inter net connection. Each student will need a headset or speak ers, along with a microphone in order to par ticipate using the two-way audio for the class. A webcam may be required as determined by the instructor for participation. As a benefit, each live online class meeting will be archived for later review. The course is designed to be used as the principal components of a credited colle ge course and may include a syllabus, announcements, resources and web-links, lecture notes and handouts, course calendar, course e-mail, discussion forums, assessments, virtual office hours, and various multimedia materials. Webconferenced courses are identif ied in course listings by the use of “WC” as the section number. (i.e. BUS-211-WC). Students can register to attend at a designated colle ge classroom or may attend from home using their personal computer. If there is a computer lab available at a specific site, it will be listed as the scheduled room for the course. Unless the student can attend the class at the specified site, it is highly recommended that each student have access to their own computer with internet access during the scheduled class time in order to attend a w ebconferencing course. The college does provide limited availability of computers at each site, but access to them is not guaranteed unless a lab is scheduled.
