E-learning
E-learning provides innovative ways to meet the needs of a variety of students. Since these courses require no (or limited) classroom attendance, they offer flexibility but require students to be independent, self-motivated learners. You can earn credit while studying outside the traditional classroom.
Most E-learning courses are semester-bound courses, meaning that coursework begins the first day of the semester, and all work must be completed by the last date of the semester.
In an online course, the instructor and students are connected to each other through a computer network. Using the internet, you receive instruction, compose and submit assignments, ask questions of the instructor and other students, discuss issues and actively participate in the class all from your home, your office, the nearest campus computer lab or any place you have access to the internet! Rockland Community College has joined OPEN SUNY. OPEN SUNY is an asynchronous network where students can log onto their courses at any time of the day or night, from any place where they can access the internet.
When you register for an online course, you will receive a mailing including instructions from SLN. These will include how to log on to the network, how to find course information, and how to access Help Desk assistance. A start-up tutorial teaches you everything you need to know to find your way around the course. For more information about OPEN SUNY, visit http://open.suny.edu
E-learning offerings are listed in the Schedule of Courses. There are certain restrictions attached to some of these courses. Students may also access E-learning information on the web at: http://www.sunyrockland.edu/go/elearning or contact E-learning at 845-574-4713.
