Description

Clarification on online class types: Live = Students attend video call classes at a set time. During class they can interact with their instructor and peers. They may complete additional coursework on their own, but must submit it by a particular deadline. Asynch = Students watch video instruction on their own. There are no set meeting times. They may or may not have deadlines for coursework. Delayed (unique to WTM Academy) = Students can watch lectures on their own time (within 24hrs of the live class), but must complete all other coursework on the same timeline as live students. Here is a video about how delayed classes work at the WTM Academy. Things to Look For When Choosing an Online School: Is there an administration?Is the school accredited? TuitionHow much do you want to be involved? Delivery method/Time onlineSocialization opportunitiesViewpoint Diversity and/or Worldview Website design Nationally Recognized Accrediting bodies MSA(Also check out the agencies they cooperate with)WASC Cognia
