E-Learning: The Anytime, Anywhere Option

There are some people who like to earn their college credits without leaving their houses. A visual communications major at Georgia's Savannah College of Art and Design has taken several speech and computer courses online along with his regular classroom studies.
Even though take online classes seems easy, these students are working hard. These students are earning credits at their own pace, on a schedule and in a setting that works for them.
E-classes fall into two categories:
- Synchronous classes allows the instructor and students to log on at a prearranged time and conduct class through chat rooms or streaming video.
- Asynchronous classes allow students to log on anytime within an assigned time frame to trn in and receive assignments, take tests, or post to message boards.
"E-LEARNING IS ON THE RISE."
