About the Content: The "content area" is broken into distinct parts to help the student tell where they are within the structure of the site. For example, the instruction is divided into four sections, Sample Test Results, Reading, Math and Essay writing. In addition the instructor will provide feedback to students submitting their essays via email or FAX.
Online Conversations: The Class has four distinct threaded discussions where the student can access conversations from the instructor and other students in the course. You will be able to compare notes, talk about problem solving and share ideas. This window will be a floating window so you can access the bulletin boards from whatever point in the workshop. This is a four week course.
