Taking a course over the Internet offers unique opportunities and presents unique challenges to students and teachers alike. By leveraging Internet technology, taking a course online allows flexibility to students who might not be able to attend class in a traditional classroom setting. However, since an online course covers the same information that the traditional, on-campus course covers (and in the same detail), more responsibility is placed on the student to keep up with material, review lectures, and turn in assignments on time. It is up to the student to check in at least once a week to get lecture notes and assignments, to follow and post to bulletin board discussions, and to participate in chats.

Currently the only online course I'm teaching is English 2311: Technical Writing. To log on to eCampus click here. To get help with using eCampus, contact the Distance Education office at http://www.blinn.edu/disted/.
