Are Online Courses right for you?

Differences & Similarities of an Online Course with a Regular Course

• Courses provide equivalent content of regular classes.
  
• There are regular online class periods (virtual classroom) in which you practice speaking with a live instructor via a microphone-headset and “meet” your classmates.
  
• All content is provided online including multimedia materials and interactive exercises. No textbooks.
