Online Courses

In an online course, instruction, learning activities, and interactions between faculty and students take place online in our learning management system (Canvas). Taking an online course has many advantages, including increased flexibility in completing homework assignments, the ability to communicate with your classmates and your instructor from the convenience of your own home or workplace, and enhanced access to written materials ranging from discipline-specific internet resources to discussions and instructors’ announcements. However, an online course is not for everyone. Online learning often takes more time to engage in coursework than on-campus learning.

There are three types of online classes at HCC. To learn more about each modality and which might work best for your learning style and schedule, review the links below.
