Yes, but the role of the faculty is different from the traditional classroom. Rather than deliver lectures, instructors serve as facilitators. They are available to answer questions and guide discussions via e-mail and online discussion groups during the entire length of the seminar. The type of certificate emailed will be based on the address under which you are registered. This material is presented with text, graphics and animation.
Some seminars also feature sound and video.
During each lesson, exercise questions prompt you to enter into discussions with other students and with the instructor. You might post a message on Monday and then check back on Wednesday to see any responses. At the end of each lesson, a multiple choice quiz assesses how well you understood the information. At anytime you can e-mail the instructor or the seminar administrator for assistance. You can also check a syllabus to find out where you are in the seminar.
