During a recent academic semester(spring’ 03), the students at the University of New Haven (UNH) had the opportunity to enroll insuch a course. The initial preparation for the online class was time consuming because of theamount of materials made available to the students. It has also been found from experience that ittakes much more time to teach and administer Online courses. Other Online course developersagree that teaching and maintaining a Online course takes a considerable amount of time [4].However, the time is well

The instructor attempts to answer as many of those requests as possible, but is alsoexpected to cover a number of pre-determined subjects in each lecture. Lectures are accompaniedby laboratory-based activities (labs).
