Distant Learning Instruction:

TMCC currently offers the following distance learning methods of instruction:

Interactive Video Network (IVN)

This method of delivery is an alternative to the regular classroom instruction methods. This two-way interactive communication system uses cameras and microphones at one site. Participants at other sites can watch and listen to an instructor or presenter on a television monitor.

Internet Courses (online):

A semester credit hour consists of the equivalent of at least one (1) fifty (50) minute period per week of in class and two hours per week of out-of- class student work for fifteen (15) weeks. The time dedicated for communication, course work items, or group assignments is twice as much as the allotted instructional time. The following are examples of activities completed outside of the scheduled instructional time:

Scheduled weekly chats
Weekly forum participation
Group activities
Readings
Reflection activities such as journaling, projects, projects, etc.

Hybrid Class:

Hybrid courses combine face-to-face classroom instruction and online web-based learning, resulting in a reduction of the amount of time spent in the face-to-face classroom and a significant increase of time spent studying online materials. Students registered in hybrid courses must attend class meetings as listed in the TMCC Course Schedule. The course were scheduled for a full semester.
