Distance Education

Bladen Community College offers students several alternative presentation modes for courses and programs. Distance learning at BCC is an instructional method in which the majority of instruction occurs when the student and the instructor are not in the same place.

• Distance learning presentation modes include:
  • Blended: College curriculum or continuing education course in which less than or equal to 50% of the instruction is delivered online
  • Hybrid: College curriculum or continuing education course in which greater than 50%, but less than 100% of the instruction is delivered online
  • Online: Internet-based instruction
  • Hyflex: : College curriculum or continuing education course in which 100% of instruction is delivered face-to-face and 100% of the instruction is delivered online. Students may choose one delivery method or the other or may switch back and forth throughout the duration of the course
• Courses offered via distance learning modes are of the same academic rigor as traditional, seated courses and carry the same academic credit as seated courses.
• Distance education courses appear on the regular academic semester schedules and are designated by special section number designations:
  • B - # sections indicate blended courses
  • OL - # sections designate on-line courses
  • H - # sections designate hybrid courses
  • HF- # sections designate hyflex courses

Distance orientation is offered at the distance education link on the BCC website.
