\ Traditional, Blended and Online Course Delivery Format Options
As part of our "Personal College" vision, Dowling College offers a variety of course delivery format options
in an effort to better meet the diverse needs of our student learning community. Students may select the option
of taking a traditional, blended, or online course. Traditional courses consist of typical face-to-face meetings
for class sessions during the entire semester. Blended (hybrid) courses generally reduce face-to-face meetings
inhalf and require the other class sessions to be held online through the use of a web-based Course Management
System. Online courses do not have face-to-face class sessions, but rather all class sessions are conducted on the
web using a Course Management System.
Preparing for success in a blended or online course can be different than in a traditional course. Review the
following general learning assessment questions to determine whether or not you have the necessary skills to be
successful in a technology enhanced learning environment.
- Can you generally accomplish the goals you set for yourself in a timely fashion?
- Do you complete your work assignments, projects or homework by the duedate?
- Are you highly motivated to do well in your courses?
- Do you enjoy learning from other students?
- Do you remember and recall most of what you read?
- Are you comfortable asking questions of your instructor?
- Do you have access to the required learning resources (computer with an internet connection)?
- Have you mastered basic computer skills such as searching the net,sending email, and saving files?
If you answered yes to ALL of the questions above, then you will experience a high probability of success in
a blended or online technology enhanced course. If you answered no to any of the above questions, then you
may not be equipped with the necessary skills to be successful.
