Distance Learning (DL) courses at Central New Mexico Community College (CNM) provide access to educational opportunities that might not otherwise exist for many students by overcoming the barriers of time and distance. Courses maintain the same high quality educational standards as those of the traditional classroom with the additional flexibility and convenience of learning built around the student’s schedule. The various forms of communication and instructional technologies utilized permit and encourage students to participate in discussions with faculty and classmates. Central New Mexico Community College currently uses the following Distance Learning delivery methods:
-
Hybrid Courses: A “hybrid” course combines both face-to-face classroom instruction and online Internet-based learning. Typically 50% of the time is in the classroom and 50% of the time students work independently on their own computers. For example, in courses where students typically meet face-to-face two days a week, hybrid courses may meet in the classroom once a week and the remaining course time is spent in an online classroom environment. In addition, students should expect to put in an additional 4-6 hours weekly of study time. Hybrid courses require students to have access to a computer. NOTE: The amount of time students must spend in class and online will vary with each hybrid course.
- Internet Courses: Course content is offered through the Internet. Presentations, learning activities, interactive quizzes, and tests are online. Instructors use e-mail, homepages, and course management tools. Students must have access through an Internet browser and an e-mail address. NOTE: Some internet courses may require students to complete some testing and assessment activities face-to-face with an instructor or in a proctored setting.
- Video Courses: Course presentations are delivered via DVD or videotape.
CNM provides the learning resources and support services to enable each student to achieve his or her educational goals. DL courses facilitate learning and are especially suited to reach busy people who wish to increase their knowledge and skills without giving up their jobs, losing income, or interfering with family responsibilities. DL at CNM serves an average of 2500 students, and offers more than 200 courses per term.
