What's the difference between a fully online course and a virtual classroom course?
Fully online courses allow students to progress through course materials each week as their schedule allows. Course materials (lectures, assignments, discussions), are posted at the beginning of each week the course is offered. Faculty who develop fully online courses receive extensive training in how to make independent learning dynamic and engaging.
Virtual classroom courses meet online at predetermined days and times. Like traditional classroom learning, virtual classroom courses enable students to engage directly with their instructor and other class participants while learning from the comfort of their homes. Virtual classroom instructors may deliver lessons from classrooms, laboratories or from other remote locations.
Summer Session I: Starts May 18
Summer Session II: Starts July 6
