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. Homework is submitted electronically using e-mail or the digital dropbox feature of the LCC Blackboard site.
Teleweb courses are equivalent in academic rigor and student requirements.
Teleweb course students enroll at LCC, pay tuition, study under the same rules and regulations, are taught by the same full-time LCC faculty, receive full academic credit, and have the same campus privileges as students enrolled in traditional courses. Due to the independence of the distance learning method, the student MUST be self-motivated and willing and able to complete all assignments with minimal supervision. Do not be misled into thinking that these courses will be 'easier' than traditional courses. Part-time students pay the regular tuition fee. The tuition rate is set by the NC General Assembly and is uniform throughout the state of North Carolina Community College System.
