Online Courses from all academic departments are available via Internet access. World Wide Ready courses at Florida Community College are 100 percent online and do not require time and place-bound testing or orientation sessions. Some courses do not require proctored testing. The Florida Community College class schedules offer in-depth detail about online courses and identify those that are 100 percent online.

CD-Based Courses allow the greatest flexibility. Many courses are self-paced and utilize video lessons (on CDs or DVDs), accompanied by books, study guides, and a course schedule.

Video Courses or Telecourses at Florida Community College utilize textbooks, student study guides, and video lessons. Video lessons are cablecast throughout Northeast Florida via Comcast Cable. Additionally, students can rent the video sets, watch lessons at a campus or center library, or check out CDs or DVDs from the library to view at home. Many courses are also available via videostreaming to your computer from Annenberg at www.learner.org.

The Florida Distance Learning Consortium enables a student to access an electronic catalog to locate distance learning opportunities at all Florida community colleges and universities.
