Online Learning and Development
GNTC offers a variety of course offerings, including on-campus, online courses, blended courses, Telepresence courses, Teleflex courses, and courses through the Technical College System of Georgia initiative, TCSG Connect. Online Learning and Development courses utilize the Blackboard Learn Learning Management System. Log in to Blackboard through the Okta single sign-on dashboard.
On-Campus (CA)
Courses are taught primarily on campus, with 50% or less of the course content delivered online. This delivery method requires students to be in class on specific days/times during the term. Students may be required to log in to the Learning Management System to access some course content. On-Campus classes are not considered distance education courses but still utilize the Blackboard LMS.
Online (OS or OA)
Online Synchronous (OS) courses are taught fully online synchronously, with course content, activities, and interactions occurring entirely online. This delivery method requires students to be online at specific dates/times during the term. Online synchronous courses may require proctored events.
Online Asynchronous (OA) courses are taught fully online asynchronously, with course content, activities, and interactions occurring entirely online. This delivery method does not require students to be online at specific dates/times, and students may participate in in-class activities and complete course assignments asynchronously. Online asynchronous courses may require proctored events.
Blended (BL)
Blended courses are taught on campus and online, with more than half (50%-99%) of the course content being delivered online. This delivery method requires students to be in class on specific days/times during the term and to log in to the Learning Management System to access over half of the course content.
Telepresence Courses
Telepresence courses are on-campus or blended courses where the on-campus portion of the course is delivered via audio/video-conferencing technologies used to connect classrooms across GNTC campuses. Students participate in live lectures and discussions, but the instructor may be teaching from a different location.
Teleflex Courses
TeleFlex courses are telepresence courses that also offer a remote attendance option. Students may register for a TeleFlex section to join synchronous lectures online or from another campus location.
TCSG Connect
TCSG Connect courses are taught fully online either synchronously or asynchronously, using the TCSG Connect platform. The TCSG Connect platform allows students from across Georgia to enroll in online courses offered by any Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) college. Upon completion of the TCSG Connect course, students will earn credit at their home college. TCSG Connect courses may require proctored events. Learn more about TCSG Connect.
