WebCT PCC uses a course management tool called WebCT to manage the web courses. WebCT provides a standard means of creating courses and enables a similar look from course to course with a secure environment for students. WebCT also has a variety of learning tools that create a virtual classroom where students and teachers can meet and communicate, thus enhancing the on-line learning experience. Distance learning courses are not for everyone. You will not regularly attend class on campus.
Some people learn best by interacting face to face with other students.
Interaction in a distance learning course is achieved via writing and email. Students benefit from greater freedom to schedule their time and complete their educational goals by working independently from home or work. All orientation requirements are published in the distance learning section of the PCC Class Schedule. Many on-line test are automatically graded and in some cases you can view the results immediately after submitting your answers. Depending on the instructor some classes may require on campus testing.
