In what ways does an online class differ from a traditional course?
An online class is similar to a traditional, face-to-face class by having teacher, lessons, homework, due dates, class discussions and assessments. The difference is that this is an Internet-based course. It is interactive and student-centered. Students are responsible for their own learning, working, at their own pace and personalizing their learning styles. The student must actively engage in searching out information and finding the answers to questions. Online connections with other students, experts around the world, and a rich array of resources, that are current and changing, provide an active learning environment.
