DE Description

Las Positas College typically off ers Distance Education (DE) classes in multiple formats: online (conducted over the internet either synchronously, asynchronously, or both), hybrid (conducted online and on-campus), and HyFlex (conducted online and on-campus with the student choosing which to attend). In addition to class meetings, class materials, and class activities being accessible online, DE classes make full use of interactive technologies, such as email, discussion boards, blogs, chat, and group assignments so students can stay connected with their instructors and their fellow students.
