What are the benefits to taking online classes?
• You get the best of two class types. The convenience of working at home along with the frequent communication of a classroom instructor. • Some students need to study from home because travel costs prohibit getting to a regular classroom. Online classes may be the only delivery system available to these place bound students. • The time-bound student also benefits. They may work variable shifts, or their travel time requires long workdays. Meeting a regularly scheduled class time may be impossible. • The availability of computers and modems in households means more people have the technical capability. • Students receive a taste of college class work without having to actually attend class. It can ‘hook’ some students into taking other online classes. This creates a wider available student base for your local college.
