Face-to-face classes are those courses where students and instructors meet at the same time and location. These classes are offered on campus and at off-campus locations, both day and evening.

These classes are designated by section numbers, generally 1-30, following the class number, for example English 111-01.


Hybrid classes are those that meet face-to-face but have some sessions that are delivered by other means--like video, online, via Blackboard, etc. Students have the combined experience of meeting their classmates in person as well as the flexibility of time outside of the classroom to work independently.

These classes are indicated by the word hybrid on the class schedule.


Interactive Classroom Video Classes are two-way real-time video courses taught in electronic classrooms. Interactive classroom video courses are synchronous, meaning the student must attend at the time designated for the course. However, students may attend at the originating site (send site) or at any of the receive sites listed in the course schedule.

Interactive Classroom Video courses are designated by C or D section number. For example, MTH-163-D1 would originate at SWCC, with the student having the option of attending at SWCC or at the Booth Center in Grundy.


Media Delivery courses make use of videotapes, CDs, or DVDs. Some Media Delivery courses require individual appointments with the instructor. Students are required to contact the Distance & Distributed Learning Office (Russell Hall, Room 203) or the appropriate instructor by the first day of classes for an orientation of the course expectations and to pick up or make arrangements to receive the course packet and required media.

These classes are designated by sections with V plus a number following the course number; for example, English 111-V1.


WWW Online courses are taught via the internet (internet based). Most WWW Online courses are taught using Blackboard but may also include other internet-based materials, PowerPoint, special software, listservs, and email. Students registering for these classes must have full internet access including email accounts. Take a look at the following web site to ensure that you have everything you need to be successful in your course: http://ddl.sw.edu .

Questions may be directed to DDL staff by calling 1.800.859.1513, email questions to ddlinfo@sw.edu , or to the specific academic instructor whose email address follows the course listing. To begin most online courses, students need to obtain their username and password by following the directions at https://sw.my.vccs.edu  and then contact the instructor via email.

WWW Online courses are indicated by the section W plus a number (for example, English 112-W1), and the listing will be followed by the instructor’s email address.
