How Do Online Classes Work?

Life Pacific College offers two eight-week sessions of online interactive classes concurrent with the fall and spring semesters on campus and one session during the summer. The classes take place in a "virtual classroom" on the internet. Unlike Independent Study courses, they have registration deadlines and specific start and finish dates. Once enrolled, students can enter their class at anytime, anywhere they can access a computer with an internet connection. The classes are taught by Life Pacific College professors and feature a high degree of interaction between the student and instructor and among fellow students.

One week before the class begins, the student will receive an email with a login name and password giving access to the online classroom. New students must complete a short orientation before entering their class. Students connect to the classroom four or five days a week to access lectures, submit assignments and dialogue with other students and the instructor. The instructor will post brief lectures and assignments to help students understand the material and to stimulate discussion. Students submit responses and research, receive feedback from the instructor, and discuss what they are learning with fellow students.
