Courses delivered over the Internet use the World Wide Web graphical interface. They may include material to read online, exercises to complete online with interactive forms, discussion lists in which you exchange ideas with the instructor and the other students in the class, and many other types of instructional activities. Students with access to the Internet can take classes via their own computer at home. Some classes are offered on computer disks or CD-ROM disks. The disks and study materials are mailed to your designated address.
Attendance in an online course is obviously not based on "seat time" as are regular classroom-based courses. You can keep a log of time you spend participating in online discussions and completing assignments. Other work is typically considered homework.
You participate in class discussions at your discretion during the week. The earlier you get into the discussion during the week, the more and better information you will gain related to the work you'll need to do on your assignments. In other words, don't wait till Saturday or Sunday to get into the discussions.
Minnesota State College-Southeast Technical is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and a member of the North Central Association
