Welcome
Welcome Online & Distance Learning Students!
We are excited to have you at McDowell Technical Community College. This site is your main resource for support, orientation, and helpful tools to succeed in online learning.
Support services for Online / Distance Learning students are very important and we want to make certain that you have the assistance you require when you need it. Distance Learning faculty members provide their students with a syllabus on the first day and inform students of the requirements for the class. Please adhere to the dates and times for all assignments.
Our Open LMS platform is where you will access your online courses. You will receive login details via your assigned MTCC Gmail. All students are automatically enrolled in the Distance Learning Orientation Course for students in Open LMS. Open LMS Orientation link (to the left) will provide answers to most frequently asked questions about Distance Learning. However, instructors, faculty, as well as myself, may be contacted should you have concerns or questions.
You may complete this course or attend a face-to-face orientation session to get started.
Be sure to check your course start dates in Self Service. Classes will open in Open LMS by 8:00 AM on the scheduled start date.
For questions or support, please reach out at any time. We are here to help:
Sincerely,
Joan Weiler
