Online classes
Online classes
This is not an advertisement or discussion for any individual class. My purpose for starting this thread is to discuss online classes in general. Have any of you taken any online classes? I do not mean a hybrid class (which consists of partly classroom hours and partly online school-website hours). I mean a class where material in a textbook is assigned online, quizzes are taken online, and perhaps even tests are taken online.

Well, pretty much all of my high school was online with teleconferencing.
I've also taken a number of distance-ed classes through college, but those are much tougher for me for the simple reason of me somehow forgetting about homework. I don't know either.

"Sonuna" Taranimak ("Sonuna" Sharkquill) has been content lately. She admired own very fine Bed recently. She talked with a parent recently. She talked with a friend recently. She had a good meal recently. She admired a fine tastefully-arranged Desk recently.
She is a citizen of The United States of America. She is a member of The State of Minnesota. She is a member of The Town of Odyssey.
"Sonuna" Taranimak likes Bauxite, Copper, Green jade, the color navy, cloaks, ballistas, cats for their aloofness and hydras for their seven heads. When possible, she prefers to consume Dr Pepper and ramen.
She lives at a relaxed pace. She tends to avoid crowds. She has a fertile imagination. She is completely disorganized. She is very distant and reserved. She tends not to openly express emotions. She needs caffeine to get through the working day.

I'm taking a class now where all lectures are online, and we have a couple group projects. The assessments (3 quizzes, final exam), however, are on paper in person. The class is only online because the professor is on sabbatical. We're watching last year's recorded classes. I'm a self-motivated person and am enjoying watching lectures on my own time, but I also enjoy going to the classroom for lectures in my other classes.
Yes, I took several classes in college/grad school online because they were cheaper than the local university (online from a community college). They included writing on threads/message boards and answering discussion questions/participating in online discussions. It was fine for me because I'm very self-motivated but I know some people who couldn't pull it off. It was also nice to work around my work and class schedule.
Obviously I need to get an alumni-class ID of some sort, in order to see just how far we can forcibly take the TPS-ToO synchronization process.Samwise wrote:I have taken most of my high school through online courses such as Potter's School and North Star.

I took two online college classes last semester, and I am currently taking two more.
I really like taking the classes online. You can work from the comfort of your own home and on your own schedule (to a certain degree, of course).

The only one I ever took was a basic HTML class offered through the city some years ago. It was interesting, and nice to do it all in my own time. Most of the information is pretty outdated now though. I would do an online class again, especially considering the time constraints I now have.
