How It Works

Blackboard

All CVTC E-Learning options use Blackboard, a course management system. Using Blackboard, you will be able to access course materials, submit assignments, participate in discussion forums, and take tests and quizzes. To learn more about Blackboard, take a test drive and visit our Get Help page.

Hybrid

Hybrid learning is flexible and exciting!  Hybrid courses work well for motivated learners who find it a challenge to attend frequent traditional classes. Willingness to participate in both face-to-face and virtual environments is crucial to success in this learning environment.

Hybrid courses pair the best features of face-to-face teaching with quality online learning: 

• Typically one half of course is online and one half is in a classroom or lab.
• Active and independent learning is promoted.
• Time on campus is reduced.
• Self-motivation is essential.
• Commitment using new instructional technologies is critical.

Online Courses

Online learning is the ultimate in FLEXIBLITY!  You can participate from home, school, or your local library - anywhere with a computer and internet access.  Never set foot in a classroom while entering the wonderful world of flexible learning:

• 100% of learning is online (some classes require proctored exams).
• Interact with the instructor and fellow classmates via Blackboard, a "virtual classroom". 
• Requires a high degree of self-motivation.
• Time management skills are critical to success as there will be due dates for assigned work.
