Advantages of Online Classes

Below are a few of the advantages of taking online classes:

• Flexibility and Convenience – Maximize and prioritize your time. You choose when it is best to work on assignments and other course activities. Since you don’t have to travel to campus, you save time and money. You don’t even need to live in the area to attend TTC.
• Quality Instruction – Online courses cover the same topics as classroom courses but have been carefully adapted for online instruction.
• Interaction – You may not be in a classroom, but you have many opportunities to interact with your instructors and classmates. Some students find they feel more comfortable sharing ideas in the online format.

What to Expect

As an online college student you should expect:

• A challenge – Online courses require students to take responsibility for their own learning. Successful online students are organized, goal-oriented, and take the initiative to log in to their courses several times each week to participate.
• An emphasis on communication –  Students are required to communicate with instructors and other students in various ways. Successful online students write with ease to express their thoughts and ask questions.
• A quality academic experience – Online courses at TTC cover the same topics, use the same faculty, and expect students to master the same competencies as face-to-face sections of the same courses. Faculty members have extensive training and are experienced in adapting their courses to online instruction. In addition, students have online access to many academic resources and student support services related to distance education.
