What is an Online Class?
Online courses are offered by Georgia Perimeter College faculty over the Internet. Using your computer, you can access course notes and assignments on the World Wide Web (supplemented with CD-ROMs and videos in some courses). You can communicate with your instructor and classmates using e-mail, online chat, electronic bulletin boards, or a combination of methods, instead of on campus meetings. Online courses allow students to take courses from home or around the world at their convenience. Online courses provide flexible scheduling and the convenience of not having to travel to campus. This can be ideal for those who must travel frequently for work, those with family responsibilities, or those who cannot travel to campus due to disability or transportation and scheduling difficulties.
