<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The ''Florida State College'' Virtual College supports a variety of distance learning modes and courses (e.g. online, CD-based, and video/telecourses). Courses are primarily diplomas, associate's degrees and certificates (with only a handful of bachelor's degrees available). Some of FCCJ's courses are extremely skills-oriented and basic, e.g. high school completions and remedial reading for adults. Six full associate’s degrees are available online. <br />
<br />
The Florida State College is a component of '''Florida State College at Jacksonville''', [[Florida]], [[US]]. This has four campuses and seven "education centres" in the Jacksonville region. Student enrolments total 73,000, of whom more than 25% are distance learners. In 2005-2006 the median student age was 27 years old in general courses and 39 in continuing (adult) education courses. Many faculty members do not possess master’s degrees.<br />
<br />
At the Virtual College, distance learning makes use of the Internet, software, TV, CDs, DVDs, PDAs and other mobile devices. "World Wide Ready" courses are 100% online and may use asynchronous bulletin boards, chat, assignment drop boxes, and online quizzes and exams. However, many exams take place in scheduled locations and are proctored. Those living more than 75 miles away must apply to take exams at an alternate remote location (e.g. college or university). Nearly all online courses require a textbook purchase (hard copy).<br />
