What
are Online Courses?
-
Online courses can be accessed from anywhere using an
Internet
connection. Everything is done over the Internet or through
e-mail, except testing which is done at LCC's Assessment Center or
through an arranged proctored site. *
Please be aware that you may be
charged a proctoring fee each time you test at another
location other than LCC!
-
Online classes are
delivered using a Web service known as Angel. Lecture
notes, assignments, instructor information and the course
syllabus will all be located in your class site on Angel. To
access Angel log into LCC's StarPort at
www.lcc.edu
-
There is no set time to
work on your classes. You can access your course 24-hours a day; seven days a week.
An exception to this
rule is some courses have arranged chat times, or they may
have you assigned to a group that agrees to meet at a certain
time of day. Otherwise, you are free to work whenever it
is convenient for you.
-
It is important to
remember that courses are real college classes. There
are due dates for assignments, tests, papers, lectures,
readings and so forth. Online courses appear on your transcript
as any other courses would at LCC. Your transcript does
not indicate that the courses were taken virtually.
