"I am learning the same material that I would in a traditional classroom. I don't have face-to-face contact with my teacher, but I can contact my teacher at any time and he responds to my questions very quickly and effectively. I feel I benefit more from the exchange of ideas with my colleagues in the online class than I would in a traditional class -- it is a broader, more diverse group of peers than I would find locally."
