Consequently, most college classes previously held in a physical room, quickly transitioned to virtual instruction.<\/p>\n<p>That same year, during the fall postsecondary semester, 75 percent of undergraduate students (11.8 million) were enrolled in at least one online course. Simultaneously, 44 percent (7.0 million undergraduate students) were <em><strong>solely<\/strong> <\/em>enrolled in online college classes, as stated by the <a href=\"https:\/\/nces.ed.gov\/fastfacts\/display.asp?id=80\">National Center for Education Statistics.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yet despite the rise in remote learning, many prospective students seeking accessible academics may still question, <em>\u201cHow does online college work?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, as time advances, so do the technology and tools that enable digital learning. And, especially today, a growing number of students are empowered to earn the same education they once did in a physical classroom, but now from the comforts and conveniences of home.<\/p>\n<p><em>Read on to discover the realities of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/glossary\/distance-learning\">distance learning<\/a> \u2014 including how online college classes work, why specific students excel in online environments, and examples of online programs available across degree distinctions.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Learning Management Systems Facilitate Online Learning<\/h2>\n<p>Online learning is made possible through learning management systems (LMS), also known as virtual platforms or education portals.<\/p>\n<p>When remote students log into their learning management system, they can access:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Collaboration tools (<em>discussion forums and videoconferencing<\/em>) for classmates and professors<\/li>\n<li>Course reference materials \u2014 audio and video files, PDFs, slide shows<\/li>\n<li>Exams and quizzes<\/li>\n<li>Grades<\/li>\n<li>Live or recorded lectures<\/li>\n<li>Progress reports<\/li>\n<li>Syllabi, and<\/li>\n<li>Technical support services<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With a sound internet connection, online students are well on their way to college and career success.<\/p>\n<h2>Types of Online College Classes<\/h2>\n<p>Typically, there are four format options in online learning environments. *<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Asynchronous<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/glossary\/asynchronous-classes\">Asynchronous courses<\/a> are conducted independently and are available to students on-demand. This makes asynchronous online learning flexible and self-paced. College students study on their own schedule while adhering to class deadlines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Synchronous<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Synchronous courses are scheduled, taking place as live sessions. During set virtual classroom hours, students log into video conferencing platforms, complete assignments, interact with peers, and notate live lectures.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Hybrid<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/glossary\/hybrid-courses\">Hybrid courses<\/a> are a blend of online and on-campus classes. While online courses are primarily written work based in theory, on-campus courses are typically held for clinical experiences, hands-on practice, laboratory work, or immersion weekends required for a specific profession, such as nursing. This provides students the flexibility of online learning, as well as valuable practical learning experiences to prepare for their careers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Accelerated<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some online learners can complete their education quickly, by enrolling in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/glossary\/accelerated-degree-programs\">accelerated degree program<\/a>. For example, Master\u2019s in Organizational Leadership (MSOL) students at Goodwin University can opt-in to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/msol\/flexibility\">seven weeks of online courses<\/a> (as opposed to the standard 15-week schedule), and earn their degree in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/files\/docs\/one-sheets\/msol-onesheet.pdf\">as few as 20 months part-time<\/a>. The accelerated option is a great path for those looking to get into the workforce fast.<\/p>\n<p><em>*Please note that online formats vary per program.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>What to Expect in Online College Courses<\/h2>\n<p>Overall, online coursework offers the same, quality and robust education as you\u2019d find in the classroom. Of course, there are some differences between the traditional classroom and online course experiences. For example, online students can expect to find:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cClosed book\u201d quizzes where students are required to respond to test questions from memory<\/li>\n<li>\u201cOpen book\u201d exams where students can reference their learning material<\/li>\n<li>Electronically monitored exams<\/li>\n<li>Virtual group projects<\/li>\n<li>Instructor-directed questions on digital discussion boards<\/li>\n<li>Reading requirements<\/li>\n<li>Research papers<\/li>\n<li>Remote presentations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In many online programs, students can even earn additional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/transfer-students\/\">credits toward their degree<\/a> for applicable personal events, completed professional development, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/admissions\/veterans\">military experience<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Succeed in Online College Classes<\/h2>\n<p>Driven, motivated degree-seekers do best in online environments. Organized students with self-discipline and time management techniques also excel in remote settings.<\/p>\n<p>For learners who need a little extra time to grasp class content, remote courses provide the ability to pause and re-watch lectures as many times as needed.<\/p>\n<p>Enrolling in online college courses can develop a student\u2019s aptitude for adaptability, critical thinking, technology, and essential problem-solving skills \u2014 all transferable competencies for a student\u2019s future career.<\/p>\n<h2>Top 3 Advantages of Online Classes<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Accessibility<\/strong><br \/>\nWhether on a computer, tablet, or smartphone, online classes can be completed anytime, anywhere.
