The online experience has certainly come a long way in just a few years from what I had experienced in past courses. The structure has become more student orientated in a multimedia approach and with more regard to the different learning styles of the individual, rather than a "Stefford" style in which all must be the same. I have also note that access to the instructor and the timely response to questions has moved to a greater importance. I believe that it can still be intimidating for some students at first, however the introductory modules have to a greater degree reduced the fear.
