Types of Courses We Offer Traditional Classes that meet face-to-face in a traditional educational setting at one of our campuses. Supplemental Classes that meet in a traditional face-to-face format but which utilize online or internet based resources and learning tools. These courses may include online tutorials, testing, access to homework assignments, discussion board postings or internet-based teaching. Hybrid These courses blend traditional face-to-face with online learning. They meet in a traditional format and simultaneously use the online learning environment for coursework and extended interaction. Because of the blended model, students do not physically meet as a class as many times during a semester as a traditional course. Instead, hybrid classes meet virtually throughout the semester using the online classroom. Students are expected to frequently participate in the online classroom so computer skills and internet access are essential for success. 100% online These courses do not physically meet on campus during the semester. All instruction and interaction occur through the online course environment. This type of course is designed for students who are self-motivated, self-directed and highly computer literate. Students are encouraged to complete the online self-evaluation test prior to enrolling in a 100% online course. The Self-evaluation for Potential Online Students is available in the Online Learning section of the system website at http://www.nhctc.edu.

This is a good tool to make sure your motivation, personality and study skills match the characteristics needed to be successful in an online course ***Students who lack computer skills are encouraged to take CIS110 Introduction to Computers prior to enrolling in supplemental, hybrid or 100% online courses. |
