What is the difference between an online and an “on-campus” course?
The difference between the online course and the “on-campus” sessions is the pace of the instruction. In a traditional classroom, the instructor sets the pace and directs the class learning activities. Whereas online, the student sets their own pace, and directs them towards completing the course materials. The online course is available to the student, wherever they may be without regard to time constraints. The student taking an “on-campus” course, however, must always go to the traditional class at a fixed time and place.
