Online Courses
Online classes usually make use of Blackboard software, which enables students to play videos of the instructor's lesson. Online classes can be quite difficult, as you have to communicate with your instructor through email and this might take a while. Homework is either submitted through Blackboard or sent to the instructor through email. Some online classes make provisions that students interact with their classmates on Blackboard.
