How Does Online Learning Work?

Glendale Community College uses the World Wide Web
to deliver classes in three formats:

Online classes
Students complete their coursework via the internet. Some online classes require that students travel to campus for a class orientation and/or exams.

Hybrid classes
Students complete some class hours each week via the internet while other class hours takes place in an on-campus classroom setting.

Web-enhanced classes
Students meet in the classroom setting during all required class hours but make use of the internet for communication, out-of-class assignments, and learning resources.

How are Online Classes offered?

Most Glendale Community College online classes are offered in a special online classroom management system called WebCT. This online environment has different areas for lecture presentations, assignments, quizzes, online discussions and email.

Instructors can post a course syllabus online, create an online Gradebook that allows students to view their own grades and track their assignments, create online Quizzes & Tests, use online Communication Tools - including email and discussion boards, offer online office hours and provide additional online course materials.

WebCT Student HelpDesk

You will also have assistance available to you to help with any technical difficulties you may have in taking your online class. You can contact the Student HelpDesk by voice mail or email to answer any questions you may have about your classes.
