Distance Education
Distance Education, referred to as E-Learning at Del Mar College, is the delivery of instruction via the Internet. Del Mar Colleges offers a wide range of courses through Distance Education that are open to all students. Courses are offered in online, hybrid and web-enhanced formats.
Online – A course is classified as online when 85-100% of the course content is delivered online. Some courses may require an on-campus orientation or testing.
Hybrid – A course is classified as hybrid when 50-85% of the course content is delivered online. A hybrid course blends online and face-to-face delivery.
Web-Enhanced – A course is classified as web-enhanced when the course meets in the traditional face-to-face format but uses Web-based technology to support instruction.
Students should be advised that any course may require use of a computer, computer labs, email, the World Wide Web or other digital resources and support software, and these requirements are not necessarily in the course schedule
