Online Courses

Students at GCC may enroll in a wide range of online courses. Students in online courses receive the same personalized attention and stimulating curriculum as all GCC students. Because classrooms can be accessed from any computer that is connected to the Internet, these courses allow busy students to study according to their own schedules. To attend class, online students log on to Moodle which is the College’s learning management system. Moodle classrooms include the same syllabi as face-to-face courses, and many of the materials, discussions, and assignment are the same regardless of the delivery method used. Because they access all materials (including presentations, readings, and videos), interact with students and faculty, and complete all assessments online; students can expect to spend a minimum of nine hours per week completing each online course in which they are enrolled. Students taking online classes should be well organized, open to using new technology, able to manage their time well, able to work independently and comfortable communicating in writing.
