Success in Distance Education

eCourse

When distance or time separates you as a student from your instructors, technology can help to bridge the gap. Distance-delivered education can provide those with limited time, or those isolated by distance or physical disability, with access to a college education. Forget about having gas money, fighting traffic, scheduling babysitters, and taking off of work. Distance education courses offer the convenience and flexibility your busy life demands.

You can use the Internet to learn and complete courses and eventually whole degree programs, while working from your own space at your own pace. As you take courses, you will meet students, create friendships, and get to know your instructors all from the comfort of your own work space and at times that work for you.

If you have a working knowledge of computers and the Internet, our online courses may be a good fit for you. To take an online course, you will need an email account, Internet connection, and a computer. For a look at how these classes work, visit our sample course at http://blackboard.lakecitycc.edu .

Video Conference Course

Another great opportunity at Lake City Community College is our state of the art Video Conferencing classrooms. Classrooms are located in each of our five counties served by the college.  You can attend a course where you can interact live with your instructor and other students. The big advantage to our Video Conferencing courses is that you don’t have to drive any further than the electronic classroom located in your area. Your instructor and fellow students will be available during class to ask questions and network with you. Our sites include:

Baker County Center

Baker County High School

Dixie County Center

Dixie County High School

Gilchrist Center

National Guard

Northeast Florida State Hospital

Olustee

Trenton

Union County

Telecourses

If your course is offered as a telecourse, you view the content through a series of video programs that are broadcast at specific times over LCCC-TV and can be accessed through your local cable channel. If you do not have access to cable TV or the LCCC channel is not available in your area, you can contact the Audio Visual Department at (386) 754-4329 and they will provide you with video cassettes of the courses that you can view on your home VCR.
