CIS Flexible Learning Program Brochure
 

Welcome to the MiraCosta College CIS Flexible Learning Program.  Students enrolled in one of these classes will be given the flexibility to choose from lab or lecture or online instruction at any time throughout the class. 

This type of class is designed for those students who want to fit a Computer Information Science class into their busy schedules and learn the material at a pace and in an environment which is comfortable for them.  The format works particularly well for those students who are self-motivated, disciplined time managers, and excellent readers. 

Students are given the flexibility to work wherever comfortable for them, providing they have access to a computer, the internet, and the current software.  Most students choose to work both in the dedicated labs as well as at home.  Formal lectures occur within the lab (one on each campus) on a daily basis and there is walk-in in person instruction available over 60 hours per week.

A test deadline schedule is assigned at orientation, but students may arrange their hours and instruction within this schedule to meet their needs.  As students progress through the class, regular and effective contact is made through the lab, lecture, and online formats to ensure that students are able to demonstrate the specific skills and techniques covered in the class competency outlines.

Oceanside Dedicated Lab: OC4803A

The classes within the CIS Flexible Learning Program are electives or requirements in over 25 MiraCosta College Certificates.  Additionally, they may be acceptable for credit upon transfer.   Please see a counselor for more information.

This is the homepage for the CIS Flexible Learning Program website.  Once students have registered for a CIS Flexible Learning class they have three class days to come to the computer lab to complete an orientation that explains how their class works.  Once they have completed the orientation, they may begin working on their class.

Please feel free to contact me at any time with questions.

Maile Soukup grew up on the big island of Hawaii and graduated from Kohala High School.  Even though she was more than 2,000 miles from North San Diego County, she had heard of MiraCosta College and its excellent academic programs.

“People in high school in Hawaii are aware of MiraCosta. It has a good reputation,” explains Maile.  “When I was 18, I came to California to take a job working in the sales and marketing department of a company in Oceanside.  At the time, I wasn’t going to attend college.  However, I soon realized I needed more computer experience.”

Maile enrolled in Computer Information Science (CIS) 100, a personal computer applications course that is part of MiraCosta’s CIS Flexible Learning Program.  In this program, students are given the flexibility to choose from lab or lecture or online instruction at any time throughout the class. 

“This class really helped a lot.  Plus, the program’s flexibility was a blessing,” she says.  “After I finished with CIS 100, I decided to enroll in CIS 105, a more advanced computer class.  Everything I learned in this class I use everyday at my job.”
