DON'T FORGET: On the Class Schedule screen, you can use the "Search Box" at the top to find what you're looking for -- enter an instructor's name, course name, etc. It's handy! |
|
NOTE: Some classes list "STAFF" in the instructor column which means we are working on filling that position. We will update the class schedule with that info as soon as we're able. |

Spring Semester Registration
Begins November 16 - 20
by Assigned Appointment
Now... THREE Ways
↓ to Assist You with Registration! ↓
|
|
Let's Review the Two Types of Classes Offered:
Synchonous/Live vs. Asynchronous
|
|
↓ (IF YOU DON'T NEED THIS REVIEW, SKIP DOWN TO THE HEARTS BELOW) ↓
|
|
In accordance with California Community College's Title 5 Regulations,
instructors have a choice of how they will teach each online class.
Each course will either be taught
SYNCHRONOUSLY/LIVE or ASYNCHRONOUSLY
as outlined in the detailed class schedule course description.
|
|
SYNCHRONOUS/LIVE CLASSES
- Within CANVAS, Zoom meetings will be held during the days & times published in the class schedule.
-
Zoom links will only be available after logging into CANVAS.
-
Class Time Conflicts WILL apply when registering since the required online class meeting has a set day/time (similar to when classes meet in-person).
-
Each instructor may choose to offer additional teaching methods beyond the requirements above. Additional methods are OPTIONAL, not required. Check each individual course description in the Class Schedule for details.
|
|
ASYNCHRONOUS CLASSES
- Within CANVAS, weekly course content will be posted in class modules.
- Within CANVAS, weekly discussion board questions will enable students to engage with each other.
- Within CANVAS, the instructor will post weekly feedback with students.
-
Class Time Conflicts will NOT apply when registering as there is no requirement for ASYNCHRONOUS CLASSES to meet live. (Even if an instructor chooses to optionally offer live class meetings, time conflicts will NOT apply.)
-
Each instructor may choose to offer additional teaching methods beyond the requirements above. Additional methods are OPTIONAL, not required.

Here's How to Differentiate Between
the Two Types of Courses in the Class Schedule
The easist way to determine which mode of instruction a class will be taught is whether a day/time for the class is listed in the course description. If there is,it's a SYNCRHONOUS CLASS. If there is NO day/time listed, it's an ASYNCHRONOUS class.
Here's an example from the class schedule. One subject taught two different ways.
EXAMPLE: EART 501 - ART HISTORY (EI)
________________________________________
This is an online class with all course requirements completed via Canvas. There are required live-stream meetings during all of the days/times that are on the course schedule.
______________________________
Open Seats: 100 Day/Time TBA* Internet (Off Campus) M. Redfield
This is an online class with all course requirements completed via Canvas. There are no required scheduled live stream meetings. Optional live-stream meetings may be held.
*TBA usually means "to be announced", but here it's just a placeholder so disregard.
____________________________
-
Highlighted in ORANGE above -- The FIRST class listed, ticket # 13305, has a day and time listed that it meets online -- Thursday 11:00am - 12:50 pm. The second sentence states "There ARE required live-stream meetings...."
This is a SYNCHRONOUS CLASS.
-
Highlighted in GREEN above -- The SECOND class listed, ticket # 13380, doesn't have a day and time listed. In the description, the second sentence states, "There are NO required live stream meetings. (The instructor has the option to conduct live meetings additionally, if desired.)
This is an ASYNCHRONOUS CLASS.

Further Questions?
If you have a specific question about how a course will be taught,
|
|
GENERAL DEFINITIONS OF
SYNCHRONOUS LEARNING vs. ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNING
SYNCHRONOUS CLASSES: Students attend a course an instructor teaches LIVE, in real-time, via CANVAS. Students are logged in at the same time to view the lecture and communicate via videoconferencing.
ASYNCHRONOUS CLASSES: Students do not attend a course at a set time, but instead access class materials online via CANVAS, and communicate with the instructor and classmates via discussion boards, etc. on their own time..
