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 as 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.
Students can register for courses either online or by fax.
Enrolled 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 textbooks. Discovery and learning opportunities are encouraged through a navigational system that lets students study and test at their own pace. Throughout the course they submit homework and take tests that are reviewed and graded by their teachers. If students have questions at any time, they can e-mail their teachers or join in online chat sessions with other students and teachers.
