Profiling of online schools
Starting today I am trying to give readers a choice when it comes to online schools and today I will talk about Western International University’s Interactive online school. This school has the best of both worlds; now with their online classes WIU is using cutting edge technology to bring students live online or virtual classes. This is incredible. Students’ can hear and speak to instructors in a live virtual format, or play back the live class session at their leisure.
I hope that this interactive learning style becomes main stream and then maybe more students that were hesitant on taking online class will embrace what online classes can do for them. The requirements for the interactive class are a bit more then normal. Users that want to participate in the live experience need to have a web cam, microphone and a sound card on the computer whereas, other online classes do not require users to have these other extra tools in order to take the classes. Of course, if students’ do not want to do the interactive live program then the standard online format is also still available for them too.
Each posting in May I am going to attempt to profile a different school so as to give readers options when choosing which online university to attend.
