PBSC Online Courses in Four Delivery Modes
Fully Online Courses
This class does not require real-time interaction; instead, instructional content is available online for you to access when it best suits your schedule, and assignments are completed to deadlines. You must have access to an Internet-connected computer with a camera. Canvas login: www.palmbeachstate.edu/canvas. Fully online courses are a good choice for students who enjoy the flexibility to learn at their own pace and from any location. They work well for those who are self-motivated, comfortable with technology, and able to manage their time effectively. These courses are ideal for learners who prefer independent study, value convenience, and can stay engaged without the structure of in-person meetings.
Hybrid Courses
This class is a combination of in-class meetings and online instructional content. Your class will meet during designated times as listed on your class schedule. You must have access to an Internet-connected computer. Canvas login: www.palmbeachstate.edu/canvas. Hybrid courses are a good choice for students who enjoy both online and on-campus learning. Hybrid classes replace some of the time that would normally be spent in a classroom with online learning activities. Attendance is 50% in an on-campus classroom and 50% online.
Live Online Courses
This class is a real-time virtual course. Your class will meet online during designated times as listed on your class schedule. You must have access to an Internet-connected computer with a camera. Canvas login: www.palmbeachstate.edu/canvas. Live Online courses are a good choice for students who enjoy the convenience of distance learning while still benefiting from real-time interaction with instructors and classmates. They work well for those who value scheduled class times, active discussions, and immediate feedback, but prefer the flexibility of not having to travel a campus.
Face to Face (classroom) Courses

Canvas may be used for accessing supplemental course materials, completing readings and quizzes, and submitting assignments. Students must have access to an internet-connected computer.
