Hybrid and Online Classes

What is a Hybrid Course?

Hybrid courses are half way between a traditional - face to face - course and a fully online course. Our hybrid courses run for six weeks and meet face-to- face one time per week for 4 hours. They require 13.5 hours of directed, out-of-class, instructor-led individual or group projects. Some of this work may be delivered online through Blackboard Vista, one of MCLA's online course management tools. MCLA students taking hybrid courses may need to follow specific, technical instructions, which are quite similar to what our online students follow.

What is an Online Course?

Online courses are designed for learners who are looking to further their education on their own time, with direction from MCLA faculty members. Like the hybrid courses, online courses require directed, out-of-class, instructor-led individual or group projects. This work is delivered through Blackboard Vista,  MCLA's online course management system. MCLA online students may need to follow specific, technical instructions, which can be found at the MCLA Techhelp site.
