Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Teleweb Course?
A Teleweb Course is a college credit course that allows you to complete much of your study at home by viewing Video On Demand lectures and/or instructional video series online instead of attending lectures on campus. Teleweb courses have been specially designed to provide students with educational opportunities that are flexible enough to fit even the busiest schedule. Video On Demand lectures and instructional series represent one component of an integrated instructional package that includes a textbook, study guide, course syllabus and on-campus seminars.
  • Flexibility for Your Schedule. Teleweb courses enable you to watch course lectures and/or instructional video series at home over the internet. You may also view the lectures at your convenience in the student computer labs, librarys and Instructional Media Centers located at the Norco Campus, Moreno Valley Campus, or Riverside City Campus.
  • An Instructor Who Cares. An RCC faculty member is assigned to serve as instructor for each teleweb course. Your instructor will have many of the same responsibilities as any classroom instructor - preparing and grading assignments, answering your questions, administering your exams, and conducting the on-campus seminars. The instructor will also be available to answer your questions by phone or in person during designated hours. Check your course syllabus for your instructor's telephone number and office hours.
