What is different about online learning?
An online class is student-centered learning with the student taking a more active role in the learning process. The instructor becomes a facilitator in the online environment. Success in an online program is critically dependent your ability to be self-directed and to budget your personal time and schedule to fit the time required for reading the class material and completing class activities/assignments. Just like a traditional classroom course, online courses vary in their design and structure depending on the class objectives, type of class content, instructional strategies, learning needs of the students, and the faculty.
