Distance LearningFlexibility that Transforms Education

The increased accessibility and use of technology e.g.

computers, laptops and mobile devices has changed how

and where we learn. Transfer and career support courses

at the District not only provide flexibility of options for our

students but also diminishes geographical boundaries

which transforms learning.

In an effort to understand and better meet the needs of our

Learning Resource Centers, the Division of Institutional

Effectiveness conducts periodic User Satisfaction Surveys.
