Online Courses

Your teachers and fellow students are present in the classroom for you to talk with. | You discuss with teachers and fellow students asynchronously on a Discussion Board where responses are posted for others to read at a later time.
Your teachers see when students are having difficulty with the course material. | There are no visual cues for your teacher to know that you are having problems. It is important for you to contact the teacher right away with any issues you might be having.
