Every effort has been made to made these courses rich in mixed media content and interactivity. Many will find that the courses are delivered in a manner that significantly aids in their learning and retention skills. Students have access to Swainsboro Technical Institute's electronic library and via the World Wide Web. Students also have access to faculty via e-mail, typically answered within 24 hours. There is a dynamic nature of the online environment not duplicated in a correspondence course.
Correspondence courses can be open ended in terms of time completion.
Online courses are not open ended, and are structured for a term's completion. Once started, courses must be completed in the scheduled term. We have found adding structure increases the student's probability of successfully completing the program. Traditional courses require you to attend classes in person 2 or 3 days per week. This means getting dressed, spending time in traffic and using gasoline just to go to class.
