Types of Online Learning Courses at LBCC

Here at LBCC, Online Learning refers to three types of courses:

  • Fully Online: a course that meets 100% Fully Online. Fully online courses are taught either asynchronously or synchronously.  

    • Asynchronous – There are no required meetings in real-time; no meeting day/times are listed in the schedule. All contact hours must be asynchronous. 
    • Synchronous – There are required meetings in real-time; meeting day/time patterns are in the schedule.  
  • Partially Online/Hybrid: a course that meets partially in a Classroom & Online (Asynchronous or Synchronous).
  • Web-Enhanced: a face-to-face course that meets 100% in a Classroom yet also uses the LMS.
