Lesson 2:
Distance Learning Strategies
Schedules...
Some online courses are scheduled for a specific time.
You meet at your computers, listen to the lecture and
interact.
Other courses provide materials and opportunities
for interaction, but you can "attend" class
as it fits into your schedule.
- When you respond to other's comments, the responses
are captured on message boards so students can read
them when they access the classroom.
Some schools offer self-paced online learning that
is provided through guided independent-study programs.
- You
are given an overall time frame of 24 months, for
example, and you work through the required coursework at your own pace.
You would have frequent
contact with
your instructors and program mentor, but you may not have the interactions
with other students.
