Once inside the TopClass system (which is closed—registered students are issued with log ons and passwords) you read lecture material presented at weekly intervals over an eight-week period. You also have opportunities for participating in class discussions, e-mailing the tutor or other class members, self-testing, encountering hot links of related interest on the Internet, and more besides. Some courses even facilitate group work amongst class members!
Courses last eight weeks. Each Monday new lecture material is posted, which inevitably encourages new discussion. You have the option of reading the lecture material online, or printing it out. Previous' weeks lecture material is left online until the course comes to an end.
Courses are designed to take anywhere from one to two hours of your time each week (this includes reading lecture material, self-testing, reading discussion list items, exploring hot links of related interest, etc.). Enrollment is limited to 30 students so that class members don't get bogged down with hundreds of e-mails a week.
