Maryam Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Which community colleges offer classes, which high schoolers can take as DE, fully online? (We currently live overseas). And if anyone has personally tried any, can you please post reviews of the college in general and the class specifically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dereksurfs Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) Hi Maryam, We've taken all our courses at the local CC in person so far. But we do have friends who have taken their online versions. Much depends on the instructor and subject like any course really. If the school wasn't so close we would probably take some online. Regarding taking courses abroad, I would contact one of the schools of interest and ask. Here's one in Santa Barbara with a good reputation for online courses: http://www.sbcc.edu/distanceeducation/destudentsupport.php Edited January 21, 2017 by dereksurfs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklyUnicorn Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 My son did one of his classes on-line. It was pre-calc. That went fine. If you want the name of the place just PM me. They don't give any special pricing or deals there though for DE if that is what you are asking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) I agree with checking with a few schools. Here, a good number of classes are available online, and are available at the same price as other DE classes (so almost free if your child is a Jr. or Sr in high school). Exams have to be proctored, but there are a number of options for that (the exams are online, so you just need a non-related proctor to supervise them, which can be done at any college in-state, a public high school, or a private center like Sylvan). I've done a lot of classes to keep my teaching license active online. I believe this is a state-wide program in TN. I know that for some of my continuing ed classes, it has been possible to register for the same class at multiple schools, with different tuition rates, yet be in the same virtual classroom with the same instructor!
