Most of the distance learning courses offered here at Prince George's Community College are delivered entirely online.  Students visit their “classroom” via a web-based course management system called Blackboard.  Students and instructors communicate through e-mail, discussion boards and chat rooms and course content and assignments are completed online through Blackboard.  Students who choose this type of class typically seek added convenience, greater independence, and more autonomy in pursuing their coursework.  Taking a course online can be a very convenient way for students with many work and family obligations or mobility issues to complete required courses without having to come to campus often or even at all.

Video Enhanced Online courses are online courses that incorporate video to supplement course content.  The video element of the course can be accessed through cable television, through streaming video or students can view the videos on-campus in the library.

Not all Distance Learning Courses offered at PGCC are entirely online.  We also offer “CampusWeb” courses that have scheduled on-campus meeting dates and times as well as online course activities.  The number of on-campus meetings varies – some only meet once a month while others may meet every week.  Check the course schedule to find a CampusWeb course that is right for you.

PGCC’s Distance Learning Center also offers Interactive classes.  These are classes that use a video network to connect to other sites around the state of Maryland.  In this type of class, students at PGCC may attend classes on the PGCC campus and see and hear an instructor that is conducting the class from another campus or the class you are attending may be broadcast to another school.  Check the course schedule to find out if any Interactive classes are being offered this semester.
