At Grand Valley, Online and hybrid courses (and other support programs) offer flexibility that you may not have in a traditional in-seat course. Online courses allow you to further your education without coming in person to campus. With due dates and assignment deadlines in mind, you set the schedule for when you are reviewing course content, participating in discussion, and completing assignments. Although there may be "live" class meetings or online office hours, for the most part, you will be directing your own learning and participating on your own time. -- from "Are You Ready For Online Learning?"
