QUESTION: IS AN ONLINE CLASS THE
 SAME AS A SELF-PACED CLASS?

Answer: NO
• Most online classes are NOT self-paced.

• Usually homework, other activities, and
  online class participation must be
  completed by deadline.

• Many Instructors set the deadline for
  midnight on Saturday to assist those who
  work Monday-Friday.

• Use a calendar for deadlines.

• Set aside time each week to login.
QUESTION: HOW MUCH TIME DO I
   HAVE TO SPEND ONLINE?
Answer: That it is up to you.

                       •   You should plan to spend at least the
                           same amount of time you would spend
                           on a face-to-face class.

                       •   For a one unit class - you'll spend a
                           minimum of one hour a week looking at
                           some of the class resources, checking on
                           assignments, contributing to
                           discussions, and posting homework.

                       •   You’ll probably spend another 3 hours on
                           reading, practice activities and
                           homework.
QUESTION: DO YOU HAVE TO LOG ON
     AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME?
    Answer: Usually not
•   You will have deadlines by which to submit
    your homework, but WHEN you complete
    that work is usually up to you.

•   Your instructor MAY require chat sessions or
    other real time activities.

•   It’s important NOT to leave it to the last
    minute to do your work or to submit it.

•   If you have trouble connecting to your ISP or
    the course website, then your assignments
    will be late.
QUESTION: WHERE DO WE MEET FOR
   CLASS?
Answer: Online, not in a classroom.
                        • Other than the orientation meeting, most
                          online courses don't really "meet" in a
                          physical face to face sense.


                        • We'll interact regularly through the
                          Internet.


                        • We'll be using some software called
                          Desire2Learn and using the Los Rios
                          eLearning web server.


                        • Course materials are available on the
                          course web pages, the bulletin
                          boards, announcements and email.
QUESTION: HOW WILL WE
     COMMUNICATE?
Answer: In many ways.

•   We'll communicate with each other
    using web-based bulletin boards, chat
    rooms and email.

•   The instructor is available to you
    through email, voicemail and virtual
    office hours.

•   On-campus office hours are also
    available by appointment.

•   These same tools will be used for
    student-to-student communication
    also.
QUESTION: IS TAKING AN ONLINE
     CLASS EASIER THAN A “REGULAR”
     CLASS?
Answer: No
•   Some students think an online class is
    even more demanding than a face-to-
    face class.

•   You have to stay motivated and stay on
    top of your work for the class.

•   The workload in an online class is
    usually identical to an on-site class on
    the same topic.
QUESTION: DO I HAVE TO HAVE A
 COMPUTER AT HOME?

Answer: No
               • Access to a computer at home makes it
                   easier, but you do NOT have to own a
                   computer for an online class.


               •    Students can access computers on the
                   campus in several locations (the Learning
                   Resource Center, and the Business
                   Computer lab, for example) or at other
                   district colleges.


               • Some students complete online classes
                   from work (with permission from their
                   employer, of course).
QUESTION: WHAT INTERNET SKILLS
 WOULD BE HELPFUL IN AN ONLINE
 CLASS?
     Answer:
• Know how to use a web browser.
• Know how to use an email program.
• Know how to make and organize bookmarks in your
 browser software.
• Some familiarity with web-based interactions bulletin
 boards, chat and mailing lists will also be useful.
• Some familiarity with word processing.

 STUDENTS?
