Flexible Learning. As part of their joint mission to provide all segments of the community with quality instructional programs, the UFF/BCC and the College affirm their commitment to exploring jointly the exciting, rapidly changing field of Flexible Learning (Distance Education (DE), E-learning i.e., remote instructional delivery systems, telecommunicated learning services, on-line computerized instruction). In this endeavor, both parties aspire to provide: (i) the community with programs which increase access to educational services; (ii) students with intellectually stimulating courses which are of a standard commensurate with those taught via the more traditional delivery modes; and (iii) interested College Faculty with opportunities to develop programs/courses and delivery systems. In addition, the College and the UFF/BCC agree to work jointly to protect the integrity of BCC programs and course offerings. The college undertakes to avoid overburdening Faculty teaching Flexible Learning Courses by carefully controlling class size, number of sites, on-line student consultation contact hours, and the technological complexity of the delivery system.
