How our online classrooms work
Our online classes replicate our face-to-face classes. The content and tasks are the same, but you join the class through a videoconferencing platform, allowing you the convenience of attending when and where you choose.
The platform allows you to communicate directly with your teacher and classmates during class activities. For group activities, your teacher creates an online breakout space, and joins each group to observe and give targeted, individual feedback.
You manage your class schedule via our online booking system (OBS), giving you complete control over your pace and frequency of study.
