How online learning works

The modern learning landscape

At CSU, instructional designers work behind the scenes along with subject matter experts to build high-quality courses that encourage collaboration. Many online instructors also provide virtual office hours, so you can setup a time to ask questions, clarify an assignment, or get feedback on your work.

Overall, the experience of online learners has improved dramatically over the past decade and continues to get better.

What to expect as an online student

Online education offers a lot of flexibility, although the specific expectations vary from course to course. Enrolling in an on-demand course allows you to start right away and learn at your own pace, completing coursework and assessments on your schedule. Other courses may require you to complete coursework on a set schedule (often weekly), although you choose the days and times to complete your work.

Also remember to consider course delivery:

Asynchronous: All learning is completed on your own schedule.
Synchronous: You attend class virtually in real-time.

Another aspect to consider will be the type of learning credential you receive upon completion. Some professional education programs provide a certificate of completion. Others may provide Continuing Education Units (CEUs).
