ONLINE PROGRAMS | WHAT DO
I NEED?

Do I need to be a computer
expert to take an online course?
No. You don't need to be a computer expert to take
an online course. You need to understand basic computer and Internet
principles, such as how to create and save documents; cut, copy,
and paste body; access the Internet; print from web pages; use "help";
attach a document to e-mail; and follow hotlinks from one web page
to another. A self-assessment can help you gauge your comfort with
online education.

Will I receive any training
in how to take online courses?
Yes. You will be encouraged to take an online orientation
before you begin the program of study. The orientation will show
you how to use the online course environment, outline important
school policies, and offer tips and exercises for improving your
learning skills. Additionally, there are tutorials available for
your use in our Virtual Library. You may always contact your instructor
or any of the other resources provided for more information.
