What is the difference between Regular and Online Classes?

The greatest difference between an online class and a regular class is the comfy couch you get to rest on at odd hours of the day and night. Online classes offer the same amount of instruction as a regular class but instead of being locked into a specific day and time, with an online class you are able to learn at a time and place that is most comfortable for you. Instead of having to meet a specific place and time, with an online class you are in control.

Online classes are easy to follow and engage in. There is a syllabus and a week-by-week breakdown of what information will be covered and when. You have the ability to read ahead and finish assignments early if you feel as though your upcoming week may be hectic or you can roll along at the same pace of the rest of the class. There are assigned readings, assignments and quizzes just like in a regular class setting. Class participation is handled by posting forums that are open to the students and instructors. The forums are not in real time, meaning that you can log in and post comments at any time of the day or night. Posting comments on these forums is easier than sending emails. There is no need to shy away if you do not consider yourself web savvy, after a couple of days the whole experience becomes second nature and will fit neatly into your daily routine.
