Distance Education

Welcome to Peralta's Online Learning Hub!

Online learning at Peralta launched onto the international stage through work on Equity. This work centered students at the heart of online learning. However, the online learning leadership knows that Faculty and Staff must be fully supported in designing and providing equitable, accessible, and Universal Design-Based learning for students to be centered. The goal of this Online Education Hub is to provide resources to students, faculty, and staff who need it.

At the Peralta Community College District, we offer online courses in different modalities. You can see the definitions of each modality approved by the District Academic Senate below.
