Zero Textbook Cost Initiative
Free access to course materials
Bucks County Community College offers over 145 courses with Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC).
Remote
Remote (synchronous) courses will use technology like Zoom for classes at designated times, as listed in the schedule. This means classes include regular, virtual class meetings where students can interact with instructors and fellow classmates. Classes previously designated hybrid or in-person will have a virtual meeting component that is outlined in the course syllabus. It may be all class time or a portion of the scheduled time, with the remaining learning time online.
Online
Online (asynchronous) classes are taught using a Learning Management System (LMS) like Canvas. All materials are shared via this tool. These classes do not include a virtual meeting format. Designated meeting times are not required and all work can be done virtually. Online courses do have deadlines for submitting completed work and taking quizzes and exams; they are not self-paced.
Zoom
Zoom is a cloud platform for video, voice, content sharing, and chat that runs across mobile devices, desktops, telephones, and room systems. If your courses have a synchronous remote component. they are likely to use Zoom or another similar technology.
Canvas
Canvas is the Learning Management System (LMS) that Bucks uses. An LMS is a software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, reporting, automation and delivery of educational courses, training programs, or learning and development programs.
Writing Across the College
At Bucks, you build strong writing skills that prepare you for success.
Writing Across the College (WAC) goes beyond academic writing. You can explore professional and creative writing through opportunities open to students, employees and members of the community.
