Welcome to the Online Learning Community at South Georgia College


South Georgia College uses GeorgiaView to deliver online course content. In fact, many SGC professors use GeorgiaView as a supplement within their face-to-face classroom courses. Next to the "Online Courses and Orientations", the most important instructional pages are "Getting Started" and "Installing Java". These are located in the "select a link" menu area above. If you follow the steps on these pages, your computer will be "GeorgiaView Ready" and you will not have problems attaching files, submitting assignments, posting messages, or completing discussions.

Your first step is to find out more information concerning GeorgiaVIEW such as how to log in, obtain your password, or seek help, visit the "How to Log into GeorgiaView" page by clicking on the Quick Links menu above or by clicking on this link.
 

 

Your next step should be to click on this link and watch a web video that provides an overview of GeorgiaView. This video will answer a number of questions you might have and will guide you in configuring your computer for GeorgiaView.

Your next step is to select the "Online Courses and Orientations" link in the above "Online Learning links" menu box to find course specific orientation material designed by your professor. Click on the "down" arrow to the right of "Online Learning Links" to explore the pages. Also on this page, you can answer some general questions concerning online learning that will help you to determine if online learning is right for you.

In addition, you can click on this link which will bring you to the University of Georgia "Student Online Readiness Tool" (SORT). Research and study tell us that there are six main topics closely related to a student's success in the online learning environment. Each section of SORT has a brief description followed by a questionnaire. Based on your responses to questions, feedback is provided on your personal readiness profile, along with suggested strategies for success and links to more information.

After the above steps are completed, you can explore other online learning related information by selecting additional options in the "select a link" menu.  There are a number of pages that offer support, provide various help functions, answer frequently asked questions, and provide online orientation material for our 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 GeorgiaView and SGC's online learning environment.

Important Note: If you are still having trouble accessing GeorgiaView after following all of the directions listed on this site, click on this link for our "trouble ticket Form". Please fill out the form and submit - someone will be with you as soon as possible.

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 GeorgiaView.

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.
