Distance Education

Enjoy the convenience of online learning and have fewer trips to the campus by enrolling in one or more online (Internet and hybrid) courses.


Definitions: Online or Internet courses are designated by a "D" section. For example, ENG 101 D20 is taught online. An online section does not have a scheduled on-campus class, but you may have to come on campus for tests and exams. Hybrid courses, which have online and classroom components, are designated by a "DH" section. For example, ENG 101 DH1 has on-campus and online components. You will have to come on campus for a few scheduled classes for a hybrid course. Hybrid class dates and times will be printed on your schedule.

Desire2Learn: The online course management system used by Central Caroline is Desire2Learn or D2L for short. This system allows instructors to create virtual learning communities within the online course area. Take a look at D2L by watching the short videos below:

Orientation Schedule: Orientation sessions are scheduled at the beginning of each semester to orient students to online learning.
