How Do I Access My Classes?
The VLC provides courses in a flexible, student-centered and convenient format. Colleges may use a variety of different delivery formats for their courses. The following is a general description of the course formats.
  • Web-based course: This format provides the course over the Internet via the World Wide Web. Students will need a web browser and access to the Internet. Most courses will require special passwords to access course information via the web. Quizzes and tests may be administered online or via an authorized test "proctor".
  • On-line telecourse: This format combines telecourses with an on-line component. The course includes viewing videotape or DVD presentations, text readings and learning activities conducted electronically via the Web. Quizzes and tests may be administered online or via an authorized test "proctor".
