You really would like to enroll in an online course at Ohlone College but you don't know whether you will be able to succeed in a virtual classroom. They have access to a computer, a modem and an Internet connection. They learn and feel engaged in an online learning environment. If your online course is listed as fully online in the Class Schedule, no campus visits are required unless specified. Technically, there are no class times.
Most instructors require frequent student participation in forums or bulletin boards.
This way you receive constant feedback and interaction, but don't have to be online at a set time of day. Your online course has an instructor. He or she develops the curriculum, conducts the class, gives the assignments, answers questions, leads discussions, and assigns grades. Enrollment in each online class is similar to on-campus classes. Many people assume that they'll feel isolated in an online course.
