Camden County College Remote Instruction To Continue In Spring

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ — Camden County College will continue to offer a mix of in-person and remote learning options in the spring amid the coronavirus pandemic, county officials announced.

For-credit lecture, workforce development, and noncredit courses will continue to be offered online, with many nursing, health sciences, lab, and studio courses offered through a hybrid mix of in-person and remote courses, Camden County College President Donald A. Borden said.

Spring semester courses containing both lecture and lab instructional components will be offered in a hybrid course format, allowing for limited in-person instruction in keeping with the Governor’s Restart Plan and standards set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Registration for spring courses begin Nov. 2.

“Camden County College continues to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on College operations,” Borden said. “Our foremost commitment remains to ensure the health and safety of our students, faculty, staff and community members as we gradually reintegrate onto our campuses and instructional sites.”

Lectures will be offered using a mix of synchronous and asynchronous learning, Borden said. Using both methods allows students to choose the format that best fits their schedule, Borden said.

In the synchronous learning model, instructors and students meet at the same time online. In the asynchronous learning model, materials and assignments are prepared in advance and available online over the course of the semester.

“Because the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be fluid, campus restart conditions will evolve and may change,” Borden said. “The College is prepared to reassess and readjust our approach to spring instruction should circumstances dictate and as we receive updated direction from the Governor.”
