Moodle and Online Classes

Moodle
Moodle is BRTC's current online course management system:  All online, hybrid and technologically enhanced courses will be offered on Moodle.  Many on-campus classes utilize Moodle to display students' current grades, post syllabi and course documents, and provide an area for students to talk outside of class.  Determining your Moodle username and password as well as helpful information about Moodle can be located in the Moodle area of the Distance Education website.

Online Classes
Online classes, classes that are offered almost completely over the internet, are not easier than on-campus classes.  In fact, they usually take more time.  To see if online classes are for you and for a list of required skills, visit the DE requirements information on the DE website.

Hybrid Classes
Many instructors offer hybrid courses, courses that present at least 50% of the course material online.  Because of the online material, these courses do not meet as frequently as traditional on-campus courses.

CVN Classes
A CVN course is held via compressed video.  While students attend classes on campus, the instructor may either be in the classroom or be broadcast to students via television from a remote site.
