Advantages of Online Learning
The VHS@PWCS delivers high-quality courses aligned with the
Virginia Standards of Learning. We encourage students to take
these courses to work ahead, recover credit, fulfill electives, or
otherwise fulfill course requirements.
Some advantages of taking an online class are:
|
•
|
flexibility
|
|
•
|
ability to receive a full credit in one semester
|
|
•
|
low teacher-student ratio
|
|
•
|
ability to work during your "best time to learn"
|
|
•
|
fewer barriers and distractions
|
|
Online learning courses tend to be very work intensive. Most
students who have taken a course from the VHS @ PWCS have
commented that online courses are excellent, but require at
least as much, if not more time than a traditional classroom
course. Although the courses require a real commitment, most
students find they receive a great deal of one on one instruction,
and often learn more in this environment.
