Danville Area Community College will be following a ‘Modified-Hybrid’ schedule when the Fall Term classes begin on August 24th. College President Stephen Nacco explains….
{”Every class will run in the fall. But they’ll run with social-distancing, and us maintaining classes of 10 or fewer people in a room at a time. Mask use, and everything else,” said Nacco. ”But the 10 or fewer means, if you have a class of 20 – one week 10 will come here on campus while the other 10 are off doing online. And then you’ll flip-flop.”}
Nacco says summer enrollment has been really good with a thousand more credits online. He thinks it is because of a half-price incentive that Danville Area Community College offered for online courses. And President Nacco adds that incentive is continuing for the fall term.
Nacco likes the modified-hybrid schedule that is being offered…
{”We’re going to be able to keep students on campus – keep ’em locked into their courses, have them interact with professors and each other – but do it in a way where we can maintain social distancing,” said Nacco during an interview with VermilionCountyFirst.com News.
Nacco adds that for classes where on-campus lab work is necessary…the college plans to front-load the lab work to get it done early. It’s being done just in case a second wave of COVID-19 develops later.
