Q. WHAT IS AN ON-LINE CLASS?
A. This is a web-based class that runs 6 weeks. It is an asynchronous, anytime, anywhere course. All this means is that since these classes are all on-line, you can complete weekly course assignments at your own leisure, from any location. All you need is a computer with internet access and a web browser. These on-line courses require a basic knowledge of the computer to include word processing, browsing the Internet, use of electronic mail and specifically how to attach documents in email, as most of the assignments will be submitted in this way.

Q. ARE THERE ANY OTHER OFFERINGS?
A. Full listing can be found in the Interactive Newsletter, or you can visit www.whro.org/cii for the on-line Interactive newsletter. You can also find the classes listed by subject in the Full Course Listings
