“Online courses are incredibly convenient,” says Jon Lenrow, associate dean of academic operations at Peirce College. “Students don’t need to worry about travel or parking — or even about attending class at a particular time.” With most materials available 24/7, online learning is ideal for people with crazy schedules or those at a distance, like military personnel on deployment, Lenrow says. Another group that benefits from online classes are people who are shy about participating in fast-moving discussions in a traditional classroom. Online discussions, consisting of postings on a message board, give those people time to think through their responses.
