Distance Education  

Distance learning occurs when students are physically separated from their instructor but connected by technology. Students in multiple locations interact with the instructor and their fellow classmates using technology...

The Leeward Community College Library supports the curriculum of distance education to our students, faculty, and staff.  We provide a variety of online research tools, including ebooks, periodicals, access to Honolulu newspapers, and information about materials your instructor may reserve for your class.

The library works with Language Arts so that all students may successfully pass the college's Information Literacy examination. If you are a DE student enrolled in ENG 100, your instructor has the option to make sure you are enrolled prior to the official exam start date this semester.  You may also enroll on your own.
