"This is the first online course I have ever taken, so I was nervous about understanding the technological aspects, but the course went very smoothly and participation was simple. Thank you for making it so easy."
About Online Courses
Online courses are "housed" within Yahoo Groups. Instructors post lectures and course materials on the course group's home page. Participants are encouraged to register with Yahoo to gain access to the course's group and the posted materials within the virtual classroom. However, most instructors are willing to e-mail materials to those participants who do not wish to register with Yahoo.
The dates given for online courses are the dates when the lectures are posted, unless otherwise indicated. Generally, participants have several days to one week to read and respond to each posting—there is no need to be at the computer at the moment the postings appear. However, some online courses include an online chat component. The chats are scheduled at a certain time each week. See the individual course listings for scheduled chat times (if applicable). Your instructor will provide more information on how to access the chat.
