Cedar Rapids, Iowa (April 18, 2016)–Kirkwood Community College will begin offering a new instructional format this summer. The new WebLive courses allow students to take live classes from anywhere in the world.

For students who live in or around Kirkwood’s seven-county region, the option will also be available to attend the class in-person, either on campus or at one of Kirkwood’s regional or county centers.

“If a student needs more structure than an online course offers or is restricted in their transportation to campus, WebLive can be the perfect format for them,” said Executive Dean of Distance Learning Todd Prusha. “Having live meeting times means they’ll get the real-time support they need to be successful.”

As part of the WebLive instructional format, 8- and 16-week plans of study have been created for students to complete their Associate of Arts degree in two years.

To access WebLive courses, the student will need high-speed internet access, a web camera and microphone and the time to commit to their education. More information about WebLive courses can be found at www.kirkwood.edu/weblive.
