Iowa Community College Online Consortium
EICC is charter member of the Iowa Community College Online Consortium (ICCOC). Online courses delivered via the consortium consist of two types: restricted and shared:
- Restricted - Online restricted classes are offered solely for EICC students. While supported by the consortium, students from partner institutions are not enrolled in these sections.
- Shared - Online shared classes are offered via the seven-college consortium and may enroll students from any combination of the partner colleges. These courses often provide access to students who may not have the same opportunities offered by their home college.
Fulltime faculty interested in teaching online must consult with their instructional dean. The dean sets the schedule based on instructional need.
History of the Consortium
In December of 1999, seven of Iowa’s community colleges formed a partnership and organized the Iowa Community College Online Consortium (ICCOC). Representatives from each partner college participated in a comprehensive planning process to design and implement the Consortium’s technical infrastructure as well as establish objectives, policies, and procedures.
The objectives of the ICCOC are to establish resources, train instructors, establish standards of quality, coordinate student services support, communication and implement an informational website. The ICCOC successfully completes these objectives through the commitment of all Consortium partners to provide quality online educational opportunities to students.
The ICCOC continues to assist our partner colleges in the delivery of quality online education to students all over the world.
