Online courses are a convenient way to earn college credit.
The computer becomes the classroom. Students can work more independently and set their learning hours to fit their personal schedules. Students interact online to receive information about assignments, send completed homework to instructors, chat with fellow students and instructors, and conduct research. Students can use their own computer at home or work, or use a computer at the college's microcomputer center to conduct course communications. You need a Pentium-class computer with at least 32 MB RAM and a 28.8 modem.
