Overview

Online Courses & Programs

LBCC offers a variety of online classes. Before registering, it is a good idea to know the different modalities an online course can be delivered in. 

Types of Online Learning Courses at LBCC

Here at LBCC, Online Learning refers to three types of courses:

  • Fully Online: a course that meets 100% Fully Online 
  • Hybrid: a course that meets partially in a Classroom & Online
  • Web-Enhanced: a face-to-face course that meets 100% in a Classroom yet also uses the LMS.

The Fully Online and Hybrid courses are also known as Distance Learning Courses.  The Web-Enhanced courses are regular Face-to-Face classes in which your instructor uses online tools (like our LMS) as additional resources for students

Asynchronous – There are no required meetings in real-time; no meeting day/times are listed in the schedule. Asynchronous classes will be noted in the class schedule by the days and time being “Web” and the location being “Online.” 

Synchronous – There are required meetings in real-time; meeting day/time patterns are in the schedule.  Some instructors may use a combination of scheduled “real time” meetings (synchronous) and online work accessed on the students’ chosen time (asynchronous meetings), but the required meetings are regularly scheduled and show in the class schedule.

Face-to-Face Meetings (HYBRID): Some essential class labs in the trades, CTE, and Health Sciences (Nursing, DMI, etc.) have been approved to meet F2F, then the class schedule will note a room number and times.  These classes will be a hybrid format with face-to-face meetings on-campus, and the rest of the content delivered online.
