COMING SOON! Long-distance classes are meant for those who live too far to come to our normal classes and want to taste Dogwood classes at least via internet, if not live. Each class has a participant and auditing option. The difference is that auditors don’t post their videos (but can ask questions and see all videos and discussions).
Top Eight Reasons to Take and On-Line class
- Students can “attend” a course at anytime, from anywhere.
- Online learning enables student-centered teaching approaches. Every student has their own way of learning that works best for them. Some learn visually others do better when they “learn by doing.”
- Course material is accessible 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
- In an online environment, attendance to class is only evident if the student actually participates in classroom discussion.
- The online environment makes instructors more approachable.
- Online course development allows for a broad spectrum of content.
- Students often feel that they can actually listen to the comments made by other students.
- Because there are no geographic barriers to online learning, students can find a diversity of course material that may not be available to them where they live or work.
