Online Learning Information

Where Are We Now with Online Learning?

SPCCD is an innovator in online education and was one of the first community colleges in California to offer fully online courses in 1998. However, over the next few years SPCCD saw limited growth in online offerings, and only 15 course sections were taught online during Fall 2000. The adoption of a learning management system in Spring 2001, the availability of training to teach online, and recruitment of new faculty interested in teaching online resulted in a rapid increase in online offerings.

Definition of Online Learning Modalities

All online learning modalities offered at SPCCD will be considered in the plan. Currently, these include the following: online, synchronous online, hybrid, and technology-enhanced courses.

Online Course: An online course is a course that is offered remotely. Typically, content is delivered through a learning management system (LMS), and communication is done through email announcements and discussions. All class meetings, assignments, lectures, and assessments are online (except for orientation meetings or other face-to-face examinations as determined by the professor).

Synchronous Online Course: An online course that meets remotely on meets on a regular schedule on specific days and times. This type of course uses online delivery methods for synchronous class meetings. A synchronous online course merges online and face-to-face delivery. Face-to-face meetings are held online, and the remainder of the course is conducted using an LMS to deliver content and communicate.

Hybrid Course: A course where some portion of the meeting time is conducted online, and the remaining percentage is conducted in a traditional classroom environment. The online portion of the class uses similar technology-based tools and activities as an online class.

Technology-Enhanced Course: A course that is taught face-to-face for 100% of the course meeting time, but classroom assignments and materials are supplemented with technology-based activities. Examples include online projects, handouts and materials, online discussion, or online testing. Note: this is a non-online learning course that uses online learning tools.

The presentation should be approximately 4 to 5 minutes in length. Add any commentary or explanations to each slide to make it as "real world" as possible. Do not just read off each slide. Review the results of "The Rehearsal Report."
