Academic Computing & Distance Learning

Is an Online Class right for you?

In an online class, you will use a software tool called WebStudy. The WebStudy Course Management System allows instructors to place course content in a password-protected site that only students who are registered for the class can access. Students can access these courses from any computer that has a connection to the Internet at anytime of day or night. As with a campus class, you will have assignment due dates, and if your class has online exams, exams may have due dates as well. Students and instructors will typically interact with each other via email and bulletin board discussions. You may also communicate with your instructor via the telephone or in person if the need should arise.  Below is important information for our prospective and current online students.
