Accessing the Classroom – Each week, using a computer and Internet connection, students sign into their classroom through the Internet. The electronic classroom is designed to fit the student’s schedule — there are no requirements to log in at a specific time each week or for a certain number of hours each week.
Inside the Classroom – As with traditional learning, professors provide a syllabus outlining course requirements and procedures for student interaction. Assignments will vary by class depending upon the learning objectives, but typically include reading assignments, online quizzes, tests, papers and discussion groups. To facilitate online learning, books will be mailed to students in advance of the courses, so that they can complete reading assignments without having to be logged in.
Student Faculty/Student Interaction – Students ask questions and correspond with the professor through e-mail — any day, any time. Telephone calls are also encouraged for additional feedback. In addition, students may be asked to participate in discussion boards or chat sessions with other students within their classroom.
