Do classes meet in “real time” (I.E. conference calls, web conferences, chats, etc?
WebCampus has made web conferencing applications available for any instructor and/or group of students who wants to use them. These applications add a real-time component to online courses — usually for lectures, Q/A sessions, and even team presentations. Instructors schedule the real-time class events as needed. Some instructors use them every week or every other week; others use them once or twice a semester. These events can be recorded so you can play them back later on — which comes in handy if you miss the actual session. Alternately, some instructors use pre-recorded lectures on an “on-demand” basis.
