Online Course Info

The online courses offered at Medgar Evers College are designed for students who need the flexibility of attending classes either entirely or partially outside the traditional classroom. There are three types of online courses at the college:

Fully Online Courses:
In these courses there are no on-campus meetings. Students participate in the class, via the Internet, from anywhere and at their own time. Students will be expected to complete assignments at a computer and participate in online activities.

Hybrid Courses:
In these courses at least 30% of the class activities will take place online. Students participate in the class from anywhere. Students are also expected to complete assignments at a computer and participate in online activities.

Web-Enhanced Courses:
In these courses the instruction is conducted in the traditional face-to-face mode with an added web component to enhance the students learning experience.

Student Responsibilities for Online Learning

In order to succeed in an online class, students need to have the required level of computer skills, motivation and a commitment to learn and work on their own. Online classes are good for students who can take the initiative to complete coursework without the direct supervision of a professor.

Online learning is not for everyone. Individuals who prefer face-to-face communication or traditional group work should weigh these factors in determining if an online class is appropriate. Academic standards for online courses are the same as those for all other courses offered at the college.
