eLearning

elearning provides students with learning opportunities outside the traditional classroom setting. Depending on program requirements, students may be able to complete many of the required courses or even entire degree programs online via distance learning.

Seminole State offers two main types of online courses:

• Online courses: Course delivery, assignments and most or all testing are conducted online. The courses rely on email, discussion forums, chat and other tools within Sakai, the College's online learning management system, for interaction between students and instructors. Some courses also incorporate online streaming video or podcasts. Although these courses are online, some instructors may require a proctored midterm or final exam. This will be noted in the online course syllabus.
• Hybrid courses: Hybrid courses combine the convenience of online study with limited on-campus sessions. The courses, which are identified as "reduced campus time" in the online course catalog, share many of the same requirements as online course. However, students meet on campus at least half of the time, with the other half of the course delivered online.

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