Welcome to the Monroe Community College's Mini Course - Online Learning: Is It for Me? Monroe Community College is committed to offering quality distance education courses. We've designed this short course about online learning and learning styles to provide an opportunity for you to experience distance education first hand and learn what it takes to be a successful student in an online environment before you take an online class. The structure of this course is similar to what you would experience if you were taking a "real" online course. However, you won't have direct interaction with an instructor but you will get a sense of what online courses entail.  So, sit back, get ready, and have fun!
