Internet courses give students access to their classes 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Once logged in, students are able to view their syllabus, course documents, assignments, and materials. The majority of tests are taken online. Some instructors, however, require that tests be taken on campus. Requirements include access to a personal computer capable of providing graphical access to the Web, as well as appropriate Web and email software. Telecourse is one of the distance learning delivery methods at PCC. Telecourses require students to view videocassettes or DVD’s for successful completion of the course. Courses are supplemented by printed materials (text, study guide, readings) and an instructor is available throughout the course for assistance. Exams are usually taken on campus. Teleclasses (Videoconferencing) are delivered in a video-conferencing environment with two-way interactive audio and video between the Person and Caswell County Campuses. Students attend class in the Distance Learning classrooms on the Person County Campus in Roxboro or the Caswell County Campus in Yanceyville. The instructor will be in one location, with the class televised to the other location. Students at the remote location are able to see and talk to the instructor. Hybrid courses blend traditional class meetings with the World Wide Web, email, and other Internet resources to provide opportunities for student-faculty and student-to-student interaction in person as well as online. Requirements typically include class meetings once a week and access to a computer capable of providing graphical access to the Web, as well as appropriate Web and e-mail software. This allows the student much more flexibility, while maintaining face-to-face contact with the instructor typical of traditional education.
