What is PBSC Online
PBSC Online includes programs that utilize a learning [course] management system (LMS) to assist with instruction or present programs fully online. PBSC Online also supports the integration of technology in the learning environment, use of the Internet as a resource in the classroom, email, compressed/stream video, Web conferencing and other instructional technologies.
Palm Beach State College offers PBSC Online programs in both credit and non-credit areas that require few (if any) on-campus meetings. Classes are designed to provide close interaction with instructors while also allowing greater time and space flexibility to serve the students' needs.
Use of course-mail, discussion boards, synchronous online chat rooms, blogs, wikis, Web conferencing, and face-to-face meetings occur to encourage effective communication with students and instructor or student-to-student interaction. These courses are rigorous and cover the same material as on-campus classes. Credits earned though PBSC Online course work are transferable and appear on transcripts just like any other class.
