Online learning is a form of education where instruction occurs when students and instructors are in separate locations. Online learning at ECC consists of online classes and hybrid classes. We recognize that this learning takes place amidst many students' busy work schedules, family priorities, and other challenges. We have worked hard to develop a wide selection of courses to allow students to learn and progress toward their degree or certificate online. We are equipped to provide most of our services online. Whether you are a student coming to campus or completing your education online, we offer flexible options to help you maximize your online learning experience. Most online instructors provide a week-by-week schedule, while others allow students to self-pace their learning.

D2L is the course management system used by ECC to access online classes. Faculty and students log into the system using their usernames and passwords. Students must be registered in a course using the D2L website.

For online classes, testing depends upon the instructor. Most exams are completed online. Some classes require a proctored setting. This proctored setting can include the ECC testing center, local college, or library; proctored tests are arranged with your class instructor.
