How does online learning differ from face-to-face learning?

---

There are two major differences between online and face-to-face learning.

• No face-to-face instruction in online courses, and less face-to-face instruction in hybrid courses.
• Participation is, for the most part, asynchronous (not in real time)

Online courses, and to a lesser degree hybrid courses, are much more dependent upon written communication. Therefore, having excellent reading and writing skills will assist you while learning online.
