Online Learning

Richland Community College’s Teaching and Learning Center is devoted to developing and providing programs and services for faculty, staff, and students that enhance the teaching and learning process through the use of technology. Center staff are committed to working with all members of the College community while harnessing technology to fulfill the charge of preparing intellectually and technically competent students for success.

Richland uses the Canvas Learning Management System for online, hybrid, and web-enhanced course. A learning management system (LMS) is a software application that allows for the delivery and management of course content.

Students enrolling in online or hybrid classes should already be able to create folders, browse for files, save files to other drives, save files as different file types, rename or delete files, cut, copy and paste, drag and drop, basic word processing, install plug-ins, attach and download files, send e-mails (with and without attachments), and post messages to discussion boards.

Staff assist students with a variety of technical queries such as login questions, e-mail account sign-in, navigation in an online course, access and navigation in the student information system, and technical questions regarding personal computer systems requirements and troubleshooting. Staff provide technical support through e-mail, telephone, and drop-in inquiries.

The Student Tech Support staff may be contacted by e-mail, calling 217.875.7211, Ext. 6376, or by drop-in, Room W143. Appointments are also available. Visit the Teaching and Learning Center page for more information.
