Online courses give the students the opportunity to complete their course work outside the classroom, on their own time. Our online courses are academically equivalent to on-campus courses and are offered by LBCC instructors. Some students feel distance courses are more difficult than on-campus courses since students are responsible for learning on their own. Success in these courses requires maturity, discipline and a strong commitment by the student. To join an online course, students must have access to a computer with an internet connection.
Some online courses require some on-campus time for orientations, review sessions, or exams.
Online courses will give you more freedom of scheduling, but they do require a higher level of self-discipline and motivation from you. They will however, provide many opportunities to interact with other students and your instructor via email, discussion boards, and chats.
