As schools across the nation struggle to shift their classes online and to navigate the unique challenges posed by distance learning amidst the novel coronavirus pandemic, the Guide to Online Schools celebrates Tyler Junior College as one of the best online community colleges in the state.
Tyler Junior College is no. 2 on this year’s list -- released annually by Optimal, a leading education research publisher -- of community and junior colleges all across Texas.
The college has long been well-versed in offering a quality education to students unable to attend classes on campus, said Ken Craver, TJC’s director of distance education. Since the ‘80s, far before internet capabilities became widely available, the school has been recording video lessons and providing other opportunities for distance learning.
