You may have noticed that there is quite a difference in the way that material is presented to you in an online program from material offered on traditional classroom courses. Online courses tend to be much more proscriptive, with assessments that are either multiple choice or yes no based - although this is not true of more advanced online programs.
Online material is written by skilled tutors who understand the advantages and limitations of using computers to deliver instruction. They also realise that you will study differently online, for instance you are able to revisit material that is difficult to absorb at first glance.
For some people, studying online is a real benefit as it suits their learning style. For others it can be difficult to learn without personal interaction.
