How do online courses work?
Online courses are classes taken virtually via the Internet, while traditional classes are taken on campus in a physical classroom. Students access class web pages and communicate regularly with the instructor and classmates via e-mail and online discussion forums.
Online courses are not self-paced, nor are they independent study. Students may, however, complete their coursework anytime during the week from any place that is convenient – home, work or even on vacation. All that is required is a computer and an Internet connection.
Students are required to complete assignments according to the class schedule, to maintain regular contact with the instructor, and to participate in online class discussions.
Do I have to be online at a certain time each day or week?
No, however you are required to stay on schedule with your assignments and login multiple times per week. Some courses may have several due dates each week; others may require work once per week.
You have the flexibility of choosing the time of day or night you want to log on to the Internet to work on an assignment, but you must complete it and "turn it in" by the specified date and time.
