Community colleges in the United States of America are an integral part of the higher education system. They serve students who may have life and time conflicts, students with multiple jobs and responsibilities, and students from various socio-economic backgrounds. The flexible scheduling and open admission policies of community college have provided broader higher education access to a diverse population of students. Over the years, the increasing cost of higher education has reduced student access to colleges; therefore, the number of students who can afford to attend college has declined. In an effort to meet the educational demands of these students, community college administrators and policymakers have introduced online education as a way to serve the educational needs of communities by increasing access, promoting completion, and providing an effective pathway through which students can enter four-year colleges or universities. As online education sustains its rapid expansion, it becomes necessary to continue developing strategies for establishing and maintaining quality in the design, curriculum and instruction of online courses (Malik, 2015). This case study is intended to add to the body of research of online education and teaching strategies that lead to student success. It explores how teaching strategies can enhance the learning process, course pass rates, and academic success for students in a community college educational environment.
