       It's no secret that more and more people are looking to the
internet for a convenient way to further their education. Online
classes are a great way to obtain an accredited college degree
from home and continue to work a full time job. Many times a
student can attend classes from their computer and schedule those
classes around their job. Some schools allow the student to login
to a class at their convenience. Imagine taking a class from the
comfort of your own home and not having to deal with parking
problems, child care, lunch, or transportation expenses.

You can also get an online degree from top, accredited online
colleges and online schools that may not be available in your
local area. An online education is also a great option for non-
traditional students, the handicapped, people in remote areas,
and people with a full-time job or a schedule that doesn’t allow
for a traditional education.

Distance education can be delivered in several ways. We will
examine two of the many ways education can be delivered via the
internet.

One of the most common is through live media. In this type of
online classroom, students typically login to a chat room type
environment that allows not only for text chat but also live
audio chat, similar to many of the popular “instant messaging”
programs that are widely used today. The lecture can be heard
through the computer speakers or through a set of headphones.
The students communicate with the teacher and other students by
text chat or simply by talking into a PC microphone. The teacher
can also allow students to view him/her in a smaller window on
the monitor via a webcam. The lecture can also be recorded and
posted to the school website to allow students to listen to the
lecture and review the material at a later time according to
their schedule, and as many times as necessary. This type of
online class makes it necessary to be at the computer at a
scheduled time each day.

One advantage to this type of online college classroom
environment is the student receives live instruction with
structured classes. It is well known that students working within
in a structured setting have a higher probability of success of
finishing their degree. An obvious disadvantage would be lack of
scheduling flexibility.

Another variation of the online classroom setting involves text
messages such as email and message boards. Each class may share a
group mailbox or a message board system, which becomes the
"electronic classroom". The instructor generally posts lectures
on the topic of study, posts the assignments, and provides
discussion questions related to the topic. The student can view
lectures, notes from the instructor and other students, and
assigned projects. The student can also post messages or
questions to the instructor and other students.

One advantage of this system is 24 hour access to course
materials and the ability to work at one's own pace without
regard to scheduling. A disadvantage would be lack of direct
contact with the instructor.

In both scenarios students are expected to logon to the class
site a certain number of days per week. Students also can
contact the instructor via e-mail to ask questions or receive
answers. When assignments are due, students send them to the
instructor online or by email, where they are graded and
returned. Students may also have access to their individual
performance reports by logging in to a website where that
information is posted. Test may also be taken online. Typically,
online classes last five to six weeks.

Although the degree of difficulty is the same for the online
classroom as in a traditional setting, the internet has broken
down many barriers and is providing educational opportunities for
people worldwide that were not previously thought possible.
