2. Definition of Online Course
The definition of online course varies depending
on the education level you’re at.
Master degree course
Webinar or webcast
Synchronous course
Asynchronous course
3. Master’s degree courses
are often set up in "cohorts.” This means that you’re assigned to a
team of students, who work together on papers or projects.
Webinars or webcasts
Webinars are the preferred technology in most cases, because
they allow students to interact with professors by typing in
questions. Webcasts are a simpler type of presentation, where
you watch and hear a class without the ability to respond while it’s
in progress.
Synchronous courses
require students and teachers to go online together at specific
times.
Asynchronous course
means the teacher will give you a series of assignments and tests
online that are due at a certain date.
