There are some fantastic benefits to the student in using the Internet to learn. Some students may find the communication capabilities of the Internet greatly enhances their understanding of course material, interest in the class, and retention of knowledge. Other students may find great benefit from the immediate feedback in answering test questions or in being able to study the course materials in the manner most beneficial to their learning style. These students gain the benefits available from technology without the stress and self-motivation level needed by distance students. The time spent in class may be reduced when much of the basic course content is delivered to students through the web site, however, this varies and should not be expected, unless clearly identified in the course syllabus.
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. Students may use computers in computer labs or those in the Learning Resources Center to take web-enhanced courses. Earlier browsers will not work. Certainly, but the same maximum course load policy as stated in the current LCC College Catalog applies. This is normally 16 credit hours.
