Course Formats


BC offers a variety of course formats that are suited to:

  • Motivated, self-disciplined students whose schedules do not permit them to attend regularly scheduled meetings on campus
  • Students who prefer to study independently
  • Students who may prefer a blend of online and on-campus learning.

Course Formats

 

Fully Online e-Learning Courses

 

Online courses are a great way for students to complete degree requirements while juggling work and/or family responsibilities. These highly interactive courses engage students with course content through structured online learning activities. Many online courses require some on-campus meetings for orientations, proctored tests, or lab work. Required on-campus meeting dates are listed in the course schedule. For some courses, all work may be completed at a distance. Students can access their courses at any time from almost any place via the Internet.

Blended e-Learning Courses

 

Blended e-learning courses are a good choice for students who enjoy both online and on campus learning. Blended e-learning classes replace some of the time that would normally be spent in a classroom with online learning activities. Attendance at a reduced number of on-campus meetings is normally required. Some blended e-learning courses are offered in an accelerated format that permits students to complete courses in a shortened time frame. These "fast-track" courses, permit students to complete as many as four courses in the time it would normally take for them to complete one course.

 

Web Enhanced Courses

 

Web enhanced courses are traditional, on-campus courses that use an e-learning component to augment or enhance the classroom learning experience. These courses require regular on-campus meetings and, therefore, are not considered to be e-Learning courses.
