DCC Moodle classes are courses that are developed and taught by faculty members of Dawson Community College. These courses will be offered through the online learning platform, Moodle. After you apply to DCC, you will receive an email with your Moodle login information from Online Specialist, Courtney Wuethrich, who you may contact with any questions at online@dawson.edu.

When engaging in online classes, it's essential to allocate sufficient time for learning. We advise dedicating at least as much time to your online coursework as you would to an on-campus class. As a general guideline, we recommend allocating approximately 2.5-3 hours per credit hour, per class, per week for each online course you are enrolled in.

However, please note that this recommendation represents the minimum time requirement. Depending on your individual learning style and course demands, you may find it necessary to invest additional time in each course to achieve your academic goals effectively.

Your commitment to dedicating adequate time to your online studies will greatly contribute to your success in the course and your overall academic journey.

*For DCC Moodle courses, your instructor will provide information regarding required course materials. However, it's anticipated that you'll utilize a digital online textbook available through Cengage.com.

Once you've registered for an online course, you will receive comprehensive instructions on accessing your textbook and other necessary course materials via Cengage.com. These materials will seamlessly sync with your Moodle account, ensuring easy access to all resources needed for your coursework.

Should you have any questions or require further assistance regarding course materials, please don't hesitate to contact your instructor.

*For MUS Course Share classes, you'll receive specific textbook information when you first access your course. Reach out to your instructor for specific textbook information.
