Welcome to the Online Learning Community at South Georgia College

Welcome to the South Georgia College (SGC) Online Learning Community. South Georgia College uses WebCT Vista (version 3.0) to deliver online course content. In fact, many SGC professors use Vista as a supplement within their face-to-face classroom courses. The most important instructional pages are "Getting Started" and "Installing Java". These are located in the main menu area above. If you follow the steps on these pages, your computer will be "Vista Ready" and you will not have problems attaching files or assignments, posting messages, or completing discussions.

After the above steps are completed, you can explore other related information by selecting pages in the above drop down menu. Click on the "down" arrow to the right of "Select a Link". These pages offer support, various help functions, and frequently asked questions, and online orientation material for current courses. The pages are designed to ensure your success in the SGC online environment by completing other important steps to verify that your computer is compatible with Vista and SGC's online learning environment. .

 

SGC provides several types of courses:

FULLY ONLINE COURSES - All of the class sessions are delivered via technology. The course does not require students to travel to a classroom for instruction. In this case, the technology is usually WebCT Vista.

FULLY AT A DISTANCE COURSES - All of the class sessions are delivered via technology. The course does not require students to travel to a classroom for instruction; however, the course might require students to travel to a site to attend an orientation or to take exams. This type of course is generally equivalent to delivering more than 95 percent of sessions via technology.

PARTIAL AT A DISTANCE COURSES - Technology is used to deliver more than 50 percent of class sessions, but visits to a classroom (or similar site) are required.

HYBRID COURSES - Technology is used to deliver 50 percent or less of class sessions, but at least one class session is replaced by technology.

TECHNOLOGY ENHANCED COURSES - 100% of the class sessions are assigned to a specific location on campus. Technology is used in delivering instruction to all students in the class, but no class sessions are replaced by technology.

To view all of the online courses offered through the University System of Georgia, click on the "Georgia OnmyLine" link in the above main menu area.

Some of our courses use electronic textbooks - this saves you money. Your course Professor will inform you if the option is available for your particular course. Click on the "CourseSmart" icon below to find out more about electronic textbooks.
