eLearning Student Support
Lake-Sumter State College offers many course delivery options, designed to fit the learning and scheduling needs of all students:
Online: A fully online class is one where the content is delivered online (80-100%) and accessible through the Canvas learning management system, located at http://lssc.instructure.com/ and typically has few or no face-to-face meetings. Some fully online classes may require proctored testing through the contracted online proctoring service or at approved testing sites or centers and other outside-the-classroom course activities. The class syllabus will detail any time required on campus and proctored testing requirements.
Hybrid: A hybrid course blends online and face-to-face delivery of the course content and instruction. A substantial proportion (30-79%) of the content is delivered online and is accessible through the Canvas learning management system, located at http://lssc.instructure.com/ and has fewer face-to-face meetings than seated classes. The class syllabus will detail required on-campus class meeting dates and testing requirements.
Seated: A seated section is one where the instruction is delivered face-to-face on campus and uses Canvas located at http://lssc.instructure.com/ or other technology to enhance the course.
The class syllabus contains information about the class, including course objectives, grading policies, and a comprehensive class calendar. Students can access the syllabus through Canvas for their specific class and through Concourse Syllabus, the online syllabus management system.
