Online Learning
Online Learning
Flint River Technical College’s (FRTC) online courses free students from the requirement to be in a specific classroom at a specific time. Students log on and work on the course at the time and place of the student’s choosing! The course number credits earned and content covered are the same as in a face-to-face classroom. The difference is that content is delivered via the Internet and students learn on computers at another location!
Online classes are not easier or watered down versions of the face-to-face course. They are as rigorous and in some cases a better learning environment for the working student. Online learning courses are not for everyone. Some people learn best by interacting face to face with the instructor and other students. To be successful in an online course, students should be self-motivated and work well independently.
Online courses can give learners access to courses on required scheduled courses, connect learning with real life, offer access to massive amounts of information, allow tailored instruction, allow retrieval of previously covered material, and provide experimenting in a safe environment.
Online courses are administered through the World Wide Web using the Blackboard Learning System.
Flint River Technical College offers many courses online. FRTC’s vision is to provide both the local and the global community with access to an affordable, diverse, and relevant variety of high quality online training and educational opportunities.
Flint River Technical College looks forward to working with learners online!
