Introduction to Online learning at Glendale Community College

Online classes at Glendale Community College are offered either wholly or in part through the World Wide Web. Some classes require classroom attendance, while other classes are delivered entirely online. Online classes may require an on-campus meeting for orientation, midterm and a final exam. Online students can review class lectures and do assignments and tests from any computer that has Internet access. Learning takes place through a combination of assigned readings, online class discussion and email, faculty feedback, group projects, case studies, research and writing assignments.

Online courses are the same as classroom courses in that you will be interacting with a group of other students and a teacher. You will receive individualized attention and guidance from your instructor and interact with other students through discussion and chat.
