Universities use what is called a "course shell" for on-line courses.  The shell is created by the University.  Each course has its own distinct shell.  In this instance, Earth & Space Science has a unique shell and Earth & Space Science Lab has a unique shell.

 

All assignments, quizzes, exams, papers and discussions in the courses are determined by the University, in this instance FCCJ, and not the individual instructors.  Instructors  present the material, facilitate learning, lead discussion boards and answer any questions.
