What is eLearning at GHC?
Discover the world of eLearning at Georgia Highlands College. GHC eLearning provides you the opportunity to complete many of the first two years or "core" curriculum courses in a Web-based, hybrid, or DVD environment. eLearning provides you with the opportunity for increased flexibility and convenience in course scheduling.
Three Delivery Options are Available:
GHC WEB BASED
Web-based courses offer students a great deal of flexibility in scheduling as well as access to information and communication resources in a different format than a traditional classroom. Classes allow students to view the syllabus, policies, assignments, instructional notes, multimedia presentations, and interactive tutorials online. Most of the communication with the professor and other students is via e-mail, electronic discussion forums and blogs. These are not self-paced course as there are due date requirements for assignments. Typically, at least 80% of the course content and contact with students is online. While several course are entirely online, most courses require that students attend a mandatory orientation and at least one proctored exam or assignment. In addition, some courses have a lab component that will require a few on-campus meetings. Proctored exams will require students to travel to a GHC approved testing site.
GHC Hybrid
Hybrid courses combine traditional classroom instruction with an electronic component. Classes meet on an abbreviated or limited schedule throughout the semester with the remaining course materials being delivered via distance. Classroom attendance is required on the assigned days. Additional information about specific classes can be found at the websites provided with the specific course. Detailed class information can be found at the website or email address provided with each hybrid course listing.
GHC College by DVD
College by DVD provides students with a series of DVD’s that contain course lectures and materials needed to complete the course. Courses, which are produced on campus with Georgia Highland’s faculty, are accompanied by traditional text, handouts, and online supplements. Periodically during the semester students will meet with the instructor on campus for tests, labs, etc.
Please Note: All eLearning students are expected to have their own computer and Internet access which is independent of GHC campus sites.
