How do online college classes work?
Posted by admin | Under Online Classes Monday Apr 19, 2010Generally speaking, if you wanted to obtain your associates/bachelors degree via Online Classes.. how does that work? Is it a work at your own pace kind of thing?
Also, what are a few accredited online schools that offer a variety of degrees?
Thanks for the help!
Each college handles their classes differently, some are learn at your own pace and others are more regimented. Some have video based classes and others rely on more presentation formats and reading.
My best recommendation would be to contact a number of colleges to find the best fit for you and your needs (class format, schedule, career opportunities, etc.). Too often people enroll in the first school they find rather than taking the time to find the best school for them. Taking that time now could save you a lot of time, money and frustration if you choose the wrong school.
This site has some good info on regionally accredited online degrees and some colleges that offer them to help expand your search:

I think you can enter your info on there for any colleges you are interested in and they will send you more info for free. Good Luck!
Generally you login to your college website, and you go to a special section where your courses are held. There are forums for you to participate in, sometimes its mandatory to participate, sometimes it isn’t. You submit your hw, assignments online or by email, or both depending on what the teacher has you do.
What my college has you do, is they make you come to the testing center to take your tests, take the midterm, and the final exam. If you are going to be out of town, its up to you to find a legitimate community college or university at the city that you’re out, find their testing center and make arrangements for your college to send the tests there and for you to go and take the tests at their testing center.
My college does this so you won’t cheat during tests, midterms and finals.

Unlike other online colleges my college offer video conferencing which I feel is more interactive method.
As far as i know every college has it’s own method of providing online classes.
Some allow you to participate in questionnaires and forums while some provide you the online study material.
