Orientation to Online Learning |
Online learning refers to courses and programs offered via the Internet. The main difference between online and traditional courses is the delivery format-not the content. Online courses go through the same rigorous curriculum process established by our colleges, and they are taught by qualified instructors. KCTCS offers five different kinds of online classes: KYVC ONLINE, WEB-ENHANCED, & WEB LOCAL
