Students receive the same high quality instruction as they would in the classroom - only delivered online. Studies may be completed at home or at work, or wherever students access the internet. Although these courses are self-paced, instructors expect regular participation and contact. During their courses, students are expected to login at least three times each week. When they log in they read course information, participate in discussion and complete assignments.
Most courses require students to compose and post at least four substantive messages per week.
Some course may have additional requirements and options for students to participate and demonstrate their capabilities. From years of experience, we have learned that most successful students are self-directed and motivated. They understand that taking an online course is convenient, but no less challenging or less rigorous than the same course taught in the classroom. This learner-centered environment is especially suitable for those who can work independent of the traditional classroom environment.
