Differences In Virtual Learning Formats at SBVC
|
Virtual learning is a flexible way to get your education while staying in your pajamas.
You may have heard terms like remote, online, hybrid, synchronous, and asynchronous, but what's the difference between them? And how do you know which ones you're registering for?
Here's a quick helpful guide:
- Synchronous courses are live online courses that are conducted in real-time.
- Asynchronous courses are made up of prebuilt course components, allowing students to complete them at the time and pace of their choosing.
- Hybrid courses take the benefits of online learning and combine them with traditional in-class learning.

|
|
| | Concept Illustration of the SBVC's future Workforce Training Hub
| |
The San Bernardino Community College District secured $37 million in state funding to build a new workforce training center at San Bernardino Valley College and a performing arts education center at Crafton Hills College in Yucaipa.
Construction starts in late 2021 on San Bernardino Valley College's 114,000 square foot building outfitted for modern workforce training. The new building will be accessible, sustainable, and filled with the tools needed for training students in water management, automotive repair, heavy truck technology, machining, electrical heating, and air conditioning, among other fields. The new two-story complex will provide students with indoor and outdoor lab space for hands-on training, replacing one of the campus's oldest and most maintenance-intensive facilities. It will be a sustainable building that provides a place to learn about green technology in a space that looks like a modern working environment. The new building is expected to open in early 2024.
