What is Online Learning?
Online learning allows you to access interactive coursework without the need to be physically present in a classroom. Using your computer and an Internet service provider (ISP) you can work on your course anywhere, anytime that is convenient for you giving you a measure of control over your learning.
Online learning is fully interactive. You will be able to review the materials online as often as you need. In addition, you can interact with your instructor and classmates by sharing questions, thoughts and ideas through email.
Online courses are similar to classroom courses. There will be a syllabus that leads you through the knowledge content and, in many online courses, you'll be asked to do exercises and solve problems either alone or in small groups. You'll have weekly assignments, and will generally be asked to complete projects, write papers, and/or take tests as a way for the instructors to assess your understanding of the material. And you'll be interacting with your classmates and instructors, just not face-to-face.
How It Works
You will be guided step-by-step through the learning process and coursework. Practical student guides, case studies and weekly assignments will keep you focused, motivated and on track until the degree is completed.
As an online student, you will have a unique opportunity to meet people from other places via the Internet. You may interact with your professors and fellow students as often as you like.
As a student in a degree program made available by Loyola University, the assistance you need will always be just a phone call, email or fax away!
