Overview
Since its inception in 1994, the goal of BCCC's Online Learning program has been to deliver an affordable education and quality instruction in a flexible and convenient manner - learning anytime, anywhere. To reach that goal, over 200 eLearning and hybrid courses have been developed.

eLearning and Hybrid students are required to learn the same material as face-to-face students do, but eLearning and Hybrid students do not learn by sitting in a classroom and listening to an instructor's lecture. Students learn by:

• spending the time and the effort needed to read all resource materials, such as textbooks and study guides, and interacting with course materials found on CDs, DVDs, and online
• watching any required videos
• completing any written assignments - sometimes done individually and sometimes done in groups
• participating in online discussions with their instructor and classmates
• satisfactorily completing any examinations.

In eLearning courses, students and instructors may not even meet face-to-face, but they do interact regularly with one another through the Internet. Hybrid courses do require some face-to-face meetings, but at least 50% of the course work is completed online.
