You can review the lecture material at your leisure. It is always available online, and you don t have to worry about taking notes in class. Also, you can use a simple compile function to print the lecture notes so you can more conveniently study the material whenever you like without having to read everything on a screen or having to be online for long periods of time. Discussion Questions One of the most valuable and important aspects of an online MBA course is the interaction that occurs throughout the course. Although some students are skeptical at first, with experience, many students have indicated that they had more meaningful interaction with classmates and the instructor than they ever did in a normal evening class.
Interaction is at the heart of any good learning experience.
A common approach used in my course was to have a set of discussion questions for EACH student to answer at the end of each assignment. Next you'll look at the course's Communication Tools.
