This ensures a common curriculum and uniformity between colleges, so every course is equivalent no matter where it is taken. In other words ENG 111 from Lenoir Community College is considered the same as ENG 111 from any other college in the state and can be transferred without having to review the course content. The primary difference is the manner in which instruction is delivered to students. Teleweb course students work at their time and location. They typically work independently or in virtual groups over the Internet.
Guidance is provided by the course instructor, as needed.
Students may take a Teleweb course totally at a distance since the communication and testing are conducted using the Internet. Students in a plain Telecourse must attend on-campus sessions for orientation and testing. Communication with the instructor and between students is easier and there is typically much more interaction than with a plain Telecourse. Taking exams and submitting homework is much more convenient for students. Exams are conducted over the Internet using the LCC Blackboard site.
