HYBRID ONLINE eLearning and Open Entry Formats Information and Requirements For complete technical requirements, specific course instructions, and to help you assess which options best fit with your lifestyle as well as your learning style, visit howardcc.edu/elearning. In an online course, instruction, learning activities, and interactions between faculty and students take place online on a dedicated course website. Taking an online course has many advantages, including increased flexibility in completing homework assignments, the ability to communicate with your classmates and your instructor from the convenience of your own home or workplace, and enhanced access to written materials ranging from discipline-specific internet resources to discussions and instructors' announcements. However, an online course is not for everyone. For instance, if you need the discipline of meeting on campus several times a week and you enjoy the in-person interaction with other students and your instructor, you are more likely to succeed in a regular classroom or hybrid course format. Many online courses may require you to take proctored exams. ese exams can be taken onsite at the HCC Test Center, at an approved alternative location or via a virtual proctoring service. A basic understanding of the internet and web browsing are required. Online course activities may be completed at any location with a computer and internet connection. When online course registration is complete, you may log on to your password-protected course website beginning on the first day of the term. For complete technical requirements, visit HCC's eLearning website listed above. A hybrid course is conducted using a combination of campus and online instruction. It is an ideal combination of classroom interaction with the use of online resources.
