About Online Learning
Online learning is a convenient
alternative to taking courses in a traditional classroom setting. It
allows the student to learn almost anywhere and anytime according to his
or her individual schedule. It also offers
the unique opportunity to
take a class through the Internet without having to come on campus on a
regular basis. To achieve the best results in a distance learning
course, students must be able to work independently with little or no
supervision. The distance learning courses are no different from the
regular courses taught on campus in the amount of time it takes to do
the lessons and assignments. Students have ample opportunities to
interact with the instructor and other students through electronic
means. Students must be well organized and have a basic understanding of
computer functions to be successful in a distance learning course.
Web-Enhanced Courses
Web-enhanced classes are offered on-campus and use the Internet in addition to the traditional face-to-face
classroom activities. The web site includes: Information, Electronic-Lecture-Notes (ELN’s), Assignments,
Quizzes, Tests (multiple choice and free response), and other learning and collaboration features. Students
access these features before and after class to further learn and reinforce what is taught and discussed in
class.
Among the tasks you will be expected to perform are:
- Corresponding with your Internet Service Provider about technical
help.
- Responding to email.
- Uploading files to the instructor and viewing those files after
the instructor has examined them.
- Participating in online discussion boards.
- Participating in online chat rooms.
- Searching Web Sites
