CCCS Instructional Method Changes

Background

The majority of CCCS’s instructional methods were established in 2005 and 2006 and have remained relatively unchanged. Due to changes in technology and best practices, these methods have been re-evaluated to eliminate antiquated instructional methods, establish new future forward methods, and classify primary and secondary methods; all based on the students’ experience.

Note: All courses, regardless of instructional method, may have work required to be done outside of class meetings that may include discussions or assignments that use the Learning Management System.
