Overview

Online Courses & Programs

LBCC offers a variety of online classes. Before registering, it is a good idea to know the different modalities an online course can be delivered in. 

Types of Online Learning Courses at LBCC

Here at LBCC, Online Learning refers to three types of courses:

  • Fully Online: a course that meets 100% Fully Online. Fully online courses are taught either asynchronously or synchronously.  

    • Asynchronous – There are no required meetings in real-time; no meeting day/times are listed in the schedule. All contact hours must be asynchronous. 
    • Synchronous – There are required meetings in real-time; meeting day/time patterns are in the schedule.  
  • Partially Online/Hybrid: a course that meets partially in a Classroom & Online (Asynchronous or Synchronous).
  • Web-Enhanced: a face-to-face course that meets 100% in a Classroom yet also uses the LMS.
