That savings can be passed directly to students. The benefits of participating in an online education are many and it s easy to implement because so many students have access to PCs today. Students can learn at their own pace as well gain access to a wider variety of courses and interactive course material. They can make use of their technology skills and they get to engage in courses where content can be updated from day to day. A history course, for example, may be updated with current information as events unfold in Bosnia.
Students register for courses either online or by fax.
Registered students have access to interactive, multimedia-based course material via standard Web browsers. Material includes text, animated graphics, audio and visual materials, and interactive exercises, all in place of traditional text books. Discovery and learning opportunities are encouraged through a navigational system that lets students study and test at their own pace and direction while teachers are available to answer questions from students, grade exams and provide educational counseling. Additionally, in order to handle peak load periods, a virtual network of substitute teachers is on hand to support a full time teaching staff. Students take courses over the Internet at their own pace and direction.
