Distance Education Feather River College

FRC Distance Education

Feather River College supports the use of Internet tools and video conferencing to create engaging and effective learning experiences. Many instructors who teach face-to-face classes use the Internet to distribute material, conduct online discussions, and provide flexible tools for students and the instructor to communicate with each other. Some classes are taught completely through the use of technology.

A number of FRC instructors teaching classroom as well as distance education courses are using the popular Course Management Program called "Moodle." These courses can be located by going to www.frc-online.com . Take a look at the introductions to Moodle on the upper left of the home page. Students might find the instructors informative as well.

IMPORTANT!!!

If you register for a Distance Education course, contact your instructor by email as soon as possible to verify that you can communicate by email, and to receive any initial instructions that your instructor might have.
If you are on campus as part of your learning experience, you are encouraged to use your free email account at FRC. Online email accounts from Yahoo, hotmail, and MSN are not accessible from most computer labs on campus due to security restrictions.
