Learning at a Distance+Durham Technical Community College

CTRA Online

The CTRA Programs at Durham Technical Community College is excited to announce that many of the CTRA courses are now offered online.  The following courses are offered via distance learning:

  • CTR110 Introduction to Clinical Research,
  • CTR115 Clinical Research Regulations
  • CTR112 Clinical Research Terminology
  • CTR 220 Research Site Management

The above coursework plus MAT151 Statistics I and PHI240 Introduction to Ethics (or Statistics and Ethics at another institution) meets the course requirements for Certificate Level 1 of the CTRA Program. 

The following additional courses are available online for Certificate Level 2:

  • CTR 130 Clinical Research Management
  • CTR120 Research Protocol Design
  • CTR210 Research Data and Reports (proposed for Summer 2005)

Durham Tech Community College uses Blackboard 6 to deliver all online courses (see http://courses.durhamtech.edu:8000/).  All program admission criteria and pre-requisite requirements apply to take these courses and fully accepted program students are given first priority to take all CTRA courses, including those given online.  A non-program student may be given special permission by the Program Director to take CTR110 Introduction to Clinical Research if there is room in the course and on a discretionary basis.

Each student interested in taking an online course at Durham Tech must go through the formal permission process every semester the student wants to request an online course.  A list of courses and the instructions on obtaining permission to take an online course may be found on The Open Campus at http://online.durhamtech.edu/ .   After permission is granted by the instructor, the student will be authorized to register for the course.

CTRA online courses meet the same learning objectives as the classroom sections but usually require additional time with outside reading and assignments to meet these objectives.  To learn more about online learning and courses offered at Durham Tech, go to www.durhamtech.edu and click on The Open Campus.
