Do TC3 online courses require any live activity, such as the use of a chat room?
The interactive aspect of the course is done through an asynchronous message system, similar to a Web based message board. Some e-mail messaging is also used. Synchronous chat rooms are not normally used. The online courses do not require you to “attend” at any specific time of day. They are not self-paced, however, and do require students to begin and end activities, discussion, and assignments, by specific dates.
