Distributed learning courses at Lethbridge College are offered in one of four different formats:

Online
Entire course is delivered in an online format. This means that all the course content is available online. You are expected to communicate with the instructor and other students in the class via e-mail, class discussions, and group chats. You will also submit assignments electronically. Courses may use a variety of interactive, online activities and resources. Visit the online academic timetable to find out if a course is print, web enhanced, blended, or online.

Blended
A course delivered in a blended format means that part of the course is delivered face-to-face and part is delivered in the online environment. The amount of time in each environment varies in each course.

Print based/Web enhanced
You receive a printed course manual and then are expected to access some components of the course online through a learning management system such as the Angel (Learning Management System) for example, online discussions or online quizzes). Online requirements for each course will vary.

Print
You receive a printed course manual and may be able to mail assignments to the instructor; however, some instructors may prefer to communicate with you and accept assignments through e-mail.

How do I know if a course is print, web enhanced, or online? The academic timetable includes this information.

Please visit the Distributed Learning online academic timetable to determine the delivery method.

Course materials will be mailed to students within one to two weeks of registration in a course. Materials will include policy and procedure information for completing the course within a given timeframe.

You will be assigned an instructor for each course when you are registered in the course. Instructor contact information for each instructor will be posted in Angel (our Learning Management System). Please contact your instructor as soon as the course starts.
