Overview of Extension and Community Education (ECE) and
Information for Faculty
Diverse Student
Populations
Students who take classes at those
Learning Locations may be adult learners, dual-enrolled high school
students, new students, guest students and in other categories. Many have
work and family commitments, as well as a strong commitment to their local
communities. Each school district represents a community with its own
distinct educational needs. In many cases, a Learning Location class is the
first contact a student has at Lansing Community College.
Faculty
Faculty members are identified, supervised and
evaluated by the academic department offering a course. Faculty who work at
Learning Locations need a commitment to serve adult learners and an awareness of
the diverse needs of the community. Often faculty members live in the community
in which they teach.
Academic Outcomes
The same level of academic excellence is expected for students at Learning
Locations as is expected on campus. The Extension and Community Education Office
provides instructional support services such as scheduling, registration,
audiovisual equipment, classroom materials, and information in order to support
this objective.
Student Services
Learning Location students may be provided student support services, especially
if this is their first contact with an educational institution. Initial support
services include assessment, counseling, advising, registration, and referrals
to on-campus services. Students are encouraged to begin their connection with
Lansing Community College with an assessment and advising appointment at a
nearby Learning Center.
Evaluations
Learning Locations are evaluated systematically through annual student
surveys, semester-by-semester faculty evaluations and periodic faculty and
Community Education surveys to assure quality standards and to stimulate
program improvement. Learning Centers that have student aides posted will be
asked to evaluate the student aide as well.
