=======an excerpt from the referenced web page=======
All courses are provided online. This means that students log on to the
course via the Internet.

Classes are accessible seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Courses are
typically presented in 10 to 20 "Learning Units". Students read
information on a topic, then a review. Most learning units also have
activities that students will do offline to experience some aspect of
the topic.

A quiz made up of five multiple-choice questions concludes each unit. At
the end of the course a 25 question online final assessment is taken.
Students work at their own pace and convenience; however all work must
be completed during the class period. The average student will spend 20
to 25 hours over the 8-week period working on a typical course.

...Graphics, photos, audio clips, and movie clips are used throughout
our courses to help illustrate specific points. Internet links to
additional sources of information and related materials, e.g.
downloadable software, are also commonly used. Each student is assigned
to a volunteer mentor.
