What is an online class?
Course materials, assignments, and communications with the instructor and other classmates are available through a course web site, which you can access through an Internet Service Provider. Courses designed for the Internet usually involve: • Reading assignments and textbooks • Writing papers • Submitting assignments via e-mail • Online discussion with classmates and the instructor • Group activities • Online exams Streamed audio and/or video lecture materials may also be included in an online course. Some instructors may require or make it optional for students taking an online course to come to MWSU and attend a class session and/or view additional supplemental materials.
Online courses are delivered using asynchronous delivery. This means that you will have the opportunity to take courses at your convenience, any time and any place. In an online college course, the instructor and students are connected to each other through a computer network. Using the Internet, you can receive instruction, submit assignments, ask questions of fellow students and instructors, discuss issues, work on group assignments, and actively participate in laboratory experiences; all from your home, office, or any place you have access to the Internet. The courses provide a high level of instruction and a great deal of personal attention from your instructor. However, there may be some synchronous components to some courses where you interact with class members at the same time. Some courses may have proctored exams.
Similar to traditional classes, online classes are virtual classes, conducted in an online setting. If a teacher chooses to create an online class, CampusCruiser ‘s features can still accommodate the online class’s needs. The only difference between a traditional class and an online class is the lack of a traditional classroom setting.
