Advantages of Online Education

CU Online offers courses outside the confines of the classroom (and the rigid schedule), allowing you greater flexibility to balance work, school, home, and travel.

Students who have taken online courses provide the insight that their online courses provide a better way to learn than traditional courses:

1.) Communication: Online education actually lends itself to more communication. You and your peers are freed from the confines of the classroom, which means if you tend to think of questions after class or debate whether you want to ask a question in front of the whole class, you can now contact your instructor and your peers with confidence.

And you'll actually find there is more in-depth and honest discussions in the anonymity of the electronic forums provided.

2.) Confidence: Online courses help foster responsibility and a sense of accomplishment as you take the reins on your education.

3.) Flexibility: With online education, you can attend your UCD courses from virtually anywhere. Anytime. Around the globe.

4.) Individualized: Through online courses, you'll be able to learn concepts and theories in your own way. Whether you're a visual learner and need to read the information, or whether you're an auditory learner and prefer to listen to it, you decide.

Online courses also provide an opportunity to learn at your own pace… and take notes at your own pace as well – you can always rewind an important point.

5.) Networking Opportunities: You can easily contact faculty, fellow students, and graduates of the English Writing program allowing for limitless network opportunities.

6.) Response: Professors often are more engaged and responsive online because this is a relatively new medium for them too.
