Online Courses Online classes use a computer with a connection to the Internet. These courses enable students to complete assignments any day of the week or time of the day and any place, depending on the location of their computer. The students use the eCampus site to complete their assignments. The discussion forum is used to discuss topics in the course. Students are expected to post comments weekly.
Email is used to converse with the instructor and others in the course.
The virtual classroom provides real-time chat opportunities. A study guide directs students through the course. Discussion meetings scheduled during the semester give students an opportunity to ask questions and to clarify points in the course. In the privacy of their homes, students watch the television programs on their public education station or on their cable station. Each course follows a prescribed time schedule and is not self-paced.
