Where Do I Go?
That is the cool part about online education, you don't have to go anywhere but to your own computer and work in the comfort of your own home at your own time. Participants may attend from anyplace where they have Internet and World Wide Web access but because of the intensive nature of online instruction, participants should expect to spend a minimum of 8 - 15 hours or more per week on each online class.
How can I tell if online education will work for me?
If you:
- are a motivated student with good writing skills
- have a computer with a word processor,
- Internet connection,
- browser (and basic skills using them all) and
- work well independently
This method of instruction might be for you -- and you don't have to drive to the ESC!
You can also take a Quick Quiz to see if online education fits your learning style and current plans.
