Students participating in electronic learning courses have greater freedom of scheduling but electronic courses require more self-discipline than traditional on-campus classes. Electronic courses require much more time than on-campus courses and are generally harder than traditional classes. You can expect to spend anywhere from 10-15 hours per week per online course. Also, many of the traditional courses taught at BPCC are web-enhanced by the wide utilization of the Blackboard Course Management System.
Students enrolled in electronic courses need to be computer literate; goal oriented; capable of learning on their own through reading, research, and assignments; be able to save and manage files on their computer; know how to send and open email attachments; check email; access the Internet; and participate in the online course at least 3-5 times per week. Some CIS courses require access to certain software programs. Consult the listing of online courses for this information. See instructions on Getting Started in Blackboard.Online Courses

NOTE: Orientation information for online courses may be posted to the Blackboard course site and/or delivered on-site face-to-face depending on the course(s). Please pay careful attention to the information in the chart below and on the following pages: Be aware of MANDATORY on-site orientation dates, times, and locations as specified by instructors. Also, do not forget that if you are enrolled in online courses for the first time at BPCC, you are required to participate in a general online orientation session either on-site or online. Some instructors require you to come to campus for exams or hands-on work. Some online courses require the purchase of additional software if you wish to complete online assignments at home.
