The ability to fit school into busy, ever-changing personal schedules is one of the many reasons people choose to learn online. Online courses can save commuting time and expense, and allow students to spend more time with their families, on the job, or dedicated to other commitments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Droid Sans';\">Online classes can offer learning opportunities through discussion boards, blogs, wikis, journaling, and Open Educational Resources (OER).
