TeleWeb
What is a TeleWeb course?
TeleWeb
combines telecourse instruction with an online component. Students enrolled in
a TeleWeb course meet with their professors and fellow students in a virtual classroom.
Other course work assignments, discussion, group work, etc. is accomplished through
the internet. Students interact online to receive information about assignments,
send homework, participate in class discussions, and conduct research.
Why
take a TeleWeb course?

courses at PGCC offer additional flexibility for students to access video-based
course material. In addition, TeleWeb courses provide opportunities to further
the student's educational goals by enhancing access to instructors, course materials
and class discussions via Blackboard, an online course management system.
