Letter: CRC has online ‘sync’ classes with Ivy Tech

0

To the editor:

Are you in sync? You could be if you participate in one of Ivy Tech’s 13 synchronous classes that will be held at our career resource center this fall.

The word sounds complicated, but it just means that you can take a college class in our local community at the same time as others are taking it on the Ivy Tech Bloomington campus. No driving, no wasted time, and a relaxed atmosphere are just a few of the benefits of being an Ivy Tech student here in Nashville.

During each class session at the Brown County Career Resource Center (CRC), you will actually be taking a class live with your classmates and instructor. We have computers with webcams and microphones for each student, so there is no extra expense for you. From your computer at the CRC, you will be able to see and hear your Ivy Tech instructor in a classroom in Bloomington. You will be able to ask questions and participate in the class along with your classmates.

If you would like to complete some of your basic English and math classes close to home, this is an easy way to do it. Ivy Tech is also offering synchronous courses in the areas of hospitality, health careers and accounting.

Classes begin on Aug. 20 and we can help you apply to Ivy Tech and sign up for the courses you want. Some of the sync classes don’t begin until September or October, so you still have time! Just call the career resource center at 812-988-5880 or stop by and see us at 246 E. Main St. in Nashville. We can help you begin and continue your education journey.
