Anyone can take an online course. But you should consider if the online environment will work for you. An online course has the same participation as a face-to-face class. In an online class environment all your coursework, exams, lessons, labs, assignments and discussions are completely done online.

To be a successful online student you must be able to:

• Have full access to a computer and the internet.
• Navigate a website.
• Know how to work with attachments.
• Know how to use email.
• Participate fully online in class using chat rooms, online content, online lessons, discussion boards, exams, and assignments.

Some of the benefits to taking an online course are:

• More convenient for a busy lifestyle.
• You can access your course from almost anywhere in the world.
• Reduces travel expenses.
