Hybrid Courses
- Web-based learning activities complement classroom work.
- Classroom “seat time” is at least 50% on campus.
- Minimum computer hardware, software, and Internet requirements for online courses will be found on the Hardware/Software Requirements for Online Courses webpage.
- Textbooks and materials can be purchased through the online MCC Bookstore, from any computer.
Hybrid courses may consist of:
- The instructor lectures with class discussion. Students may complete online assignments based on these classroom discussions with online assignments posted to discussion forums for student interaction.
- An instructor places lectures online using voiceover PowerPoint or streaming media for students to review. Students use these online materials to engage in small group activities and/or discussions in class.
- Students prepare small group projects online, post them to discussion forums for debate and revision, then present them in the class for final discussion and assessment.

Learning Communities
- A team approach between two courses that builds a sense of community for the students.
- Students are enrolled in two theme-based courses per semester, e.g., Math/Biology and English/CIS.
- Students are provided with a syllabus that integrates the learning in the two courses and clarifies how faculty interact with each other in achieving the goals of both courses.
- Students are given the option of group meetings (outside of class) for further coursework, studying, and social interaction.
- Textbooks and materials can be purchased through the online MCC Bookstore, from any computer.
For more information about learning communities at MCC, see the Learning Communities webpage, and/or call MCC Connect .
Traditional Ground Classes
- These classes are campus-based and web-enhanced.
- Web-enhanced courses utilize the Learning Management System through which students can access course syllabi, instructional materials, grades, and communicate with their instructor.
- Textbooks and materials can be purchased through the online MCC Bookstore, from any computer.
