Online
MCC Online courses provide MCC students with the opportunity to take classes anywhere. Online courses are equivalent to lecture courses. A course website contains the course syllabus, class assignments, student activities, and other necessary information. Email and discussion forums are the primary tools used for communication between the instructor and students. This combination of course website, supporting materials, and discussion tools form a virtual classroom in which the students and instructor interact. Most online courses do not require the student to visit the campus and may be completed entirely online, but a few do have proctored exams, so checking the course info sheets before signing up is always a wise precaution. One of the biggest advantages that online courses offer is flexibility of daily schedule. The student can schedule their class work at the time of the day most useful to them, rather than having to appear in a classroom for one or more fixed periods each week.
CCCOnline is a collaborative effort by all Colorado Community Colleges to provide Internet courses in support of degree and certificate programs at all Colorado Community College System (CCCS) colleges. CCCOnline policies, procedures, and course offerings can be found at www.CCCOnline.org and are listed in the MCC Schedule of Classes each semester. Credits will transfer easily among participating colleges of the Colorado Community College System. There are several start dates throughout the year.
Definition of Instructional Delivery Type
Online - 100% of instruction and activities are provided asynchronously through D2L. For each credit of the online course, students should be expected to receive 750 minutes of online classroom activities. This will create a seat time equivalency that is equal to the seat time in a Traditional face-to-face class.
