One advantage to this type of online college classroom environment is student receives live instruction with structured classes. It is well known that students working within in a structured setting have a higher probability of success of finishing their degree. An obvious disadvantage would be lack of scheduling flexibility.

Another variation of online classroom setting involves text messages such as email and message boards. Each class may share a group mailbox or a message board system, which becomes "electronic classroom". The instructor generally posts lectures on topic of study, posts assignments, and provides discussion questions related to topic. The student can view lectures, notes from instructor and other students, and assigned projects. The student can also post messages or questions to instructor and other students.

One advantage of this system is 24 hour access to course materials and ability to work at one's own pace without regard to scheduling. A disadvantage would be lack of direct contact with instructor.

In both scenarios students are expected to logon to class site a certain number of days per week. Students also can contact instructor via e-mail to ask questions or receive answers. When assignments are due, students send them to instructor online or by email, where they are graded and returned. Students may also have access to their individual performance reports by logging in to a website where that information is posted. Test may also be taken online. Typically, online classes last five to six weeks.

Although degree of difficulty is same for online classroom as in a traditional setting, internet has broken down many barriers and is providing educational opportunities for people worldwide that were not previously thought possible.
