Online classes can vary in their delivery, but most follow a basic pattern.
This URL might be given to you in an email, with your registration paperwork, or at an on-campus orientation for the course. You can access the course website from any computer with Internet access, email, and a word processing program. Once you access the course website you will find the course syllabus, assignments, instructor contact information, and other course related material. Rather than having a class lecture, you will be reading information from your instructor on the course website. Some online courses include audio and video clips.
