Advantages of UW Colleges Online Courses

1. University of Wisconsin Colleges Instructors.
   Courses are taught by the same individuals hired for their expertise in teaching their subject areas on our campuses. They use the same curriculum and course materials as they do in their face-to-face classes. The high academic standards and quality reputation of the UW back up every course you take.
2. Student-Centered Learning.
   In an online environment, you are empowered to learn from others in your class. For example, in discussion groups, you explain, share, comment upon, and critique yourselves in a manner not seen in a traditional face-to-face classroom.
3. Flexibility and Convenience.
   You can pursue coursework at the times and places that fit into your busy lifestyle (while still ensuring your coursework is completed by any specified due dates).
4. Interactive Discussions.
   You can make intelligent and thoughtful contributions to discussions online rather than feel pressured to respond spontaneously to instructor questions in class.
5. More Opportunities for In-Depth Understanding.
   Various course resources are accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can read and review lecture notes as often as you want, interact within your courseware at any time, and you have the ability to send your professor questions at your convenience.
6. Achieve Educational Goals.
   Online courses can assist in completing degrees from other colleges or universities or be part of a total online associate or bachelor's degree. UW Colleges Online partners with other UW System programs to ease the transfer of course credits.
