Specialized Academic Programs and Services

eLearning

eLearning (formerly known as distance learning) students are provided with learning opportunities outside the traditional classroom setting. Through the use of different technologies, Seminole State offers online courses in its degree programs. Depending on program requirements, students may be able to complete many of the required courses or even entire degree programs via eLearning.

Online courses rely on e-mail, discussion forums, chat and other tools within our college online learning management system (Sakai) for interaction between students and instructors. Some courses also incorporate online streaming video or podcasts. Course delivery, assignments and testing are all conducted via the Internet, although some instructors may require a proctored midterm or final exam.

Seminole State also offers hybrid courses that combine a reduced number of on-campus class meetings with online instruction.

To take an online or hybrid class, students must have reliable access to a computer with an Internet connection and be familiar with using the Internet.

Good time-management skills, motivation and self-discipline are essential for success in an electronic learning environment. Seminole State recommends that students speak with an academic advisor before registering for an eLearning course. Students also are encouraged to review the Successful eLearning Learning Skills Survey online to help them determine if this mode of instruction is suited to their learning style.
