Online College Courses

							Online College Courses
With the evolution of Internet technology it is possible to do everything
online. One can plan vacations and make the travel and hotel
reservations. One can buy a car or a home. One can even get an education
through online college courses.
The last few years have seen a proliferation of online college courses.
The numbers are in tens of thousands and growing. And there are courses
of all types. At the top are courses that offer online degrees. These
courses would run for the same period that conventional degree courses
would run and have similar assessment procedures. There would be regular
interaction with instructors and other students. At the bottom are single
modules without any interaction, or assessment or certificates. And there
are plenty of formats in between.
Online courses have a greater variety. This has perhaps been made
possible by the greater reach of online courses through the Internet. Say
a minimum of ten students is required for a course. A conventional
college must have the ten people within the same town, whereas the online
college can pick up ten students from anywhere in the world. The non-
interactive modular courses can enjoy even greater variety because once
prepared they can lie on the Internet for ages, waiting to be downloaded.
Online college courses cater to many different types of consumers. There
are those who want to get a bachelor or master's degree to further their
employment opportunities. There are professionals who want to update
their knowledge on a particular aspect of their work. There are
housewives who want to develop vocational skills so that they can start a
small home business. There are retired persons who want to enhance their
knowledge in an area of interest.
