The courses are best suited for those who can manage their own time and take responsibility for their education, without the usual benefit of regular class meeting times. No distinction is made between the requirements and expectations for traditionally taught courses and on-line courses. This means that the content and the outcome of on-line courses are the same as those taught in the traditional classroom. It is the flexibility of time and space that attracts the online student.
Courses are, however, designed to be taken asynchronously - at the convenience of the student.
Most students will find that they need to access their online class between 5-7 times a week in order to keep up with class assignments and discussions, and student questions.
