Your Online Course Options
- Online Courses
- Experience courses taught on the Internet using MCC's online course management system, Canvas.
- Review course materials, participate in class discussions, turn in assignments and take quizzes online.
- Students enrolled in online courses pay in-district tuition regardless of residency. (In-district tuition rate does not apply to blended courses.)
- Blended Courses
Instruction is provided differently in online/blended courses than in classroom-based courses. An online/blended course requires three hours of work for each course credit; therefore, for a three-credit course, you should expect to spend about nine to twelve hours each week in this course to engage in activities that may include but is not limited to:
- attending synchronous sessions
- participating in interactive tutorials or computer-assisted instruction reading course materials
- participating in online discussions
- participating in online study groups for the class doing research and writing papers
- completing all other course assignments (e.g., quizzes, exams, field trips, etc.)
