What is eLearning?

Clark College offers a variety of learning modality options giving students the opportunity to attend classes beyond the traditional on-campus experience. Your options include:

Online

Classes where activities are completed in an online environment. Most online classes provide all of the instruction online, however, there are a few exceptions such as mandatory orientations or on-campus tests so always check the online class schedule (not schedule planner.) Because there is no set meeting time students are expected to put in both "in-class" time and "homework time" within their own schedules weekly. There is a $30 fee associated with these courses.

Online Course Schedule Example

Identify an Online Class in the Schedule:

  • Online Course Title

Hybrid

These classes combine traditional face-to-face classroom time with online instruction. On-campus instruction time is reduced anywhere from 20 to 80 percent and the remainder of the instruction is completed online. Since not all of the instruction is done at a set meeting time, students are expected to put in both the rest of the "in-class" time and "homework time" within their own schedules (outside of class) weekly. There is a $30 fee associated with these courses.

Hybrid Course Schedule Example

Identify a Hybrid Class in the Schedule:

  • Hybrid Title
  • #H# Section Code

Web-Enhanced

A face-to-face course that does not replace any face-to-face seat time, and access to web-based tools (Canvas or other) on a regular basis is required. There is a $5 fee associated with these courses.
