Baker On-Line offers the convenience of classroom accessibility 24 hours a day, seven days a week, from virtually anywhere in the world. Because students do all classroom work off-line, schedules are flexible. A student goes on line to send and receive completed work and other materials. It is not a self-paced program.
Courses begin and end on specific dates, and class work is assigned deadlines.
A CD-ROM and an Internet service provider are required. The virtual classroom is the common meeting area for all students taking classes on line. Communication is accomplished by sending messages back and forth from the student's computer to the classroom computer. Each classroom has a unique name, and only students taking that class have access to the virtual classroom. This ensures privacy for all students.
