Our Mission

Distance and Distributed Learning services at Southwest Virginia Community College (SwVCC) strive to meet the needs of all students by providing alternative pathways to a quality education through the use of the latest and most innovative technology.

Distance learning courses are designed to create opportunities for students whose inflexible schedules require they take classes near their homes or independently of a rigid class meeting time.

There are various delivery methods used in Distance & Distributed Learning at SwVCC. These methods include: fully interactive electronic classrooms which send top-quality instruction to and from remote locations, video and audio telecourses with proven track records of teaching performance and flexible applications and internet based courses.
