What equipment will I need to take an online class? How does it work?
You will need a computer, internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone. The students and the mentor meet in the classroom at a specific day and time. They are able to interact with one another via a chat box, microphone, webcam and a whiteboard. They hold lectures, discussions, quizzes, games, simulations and even have the occasional party!
Can siblings take a class together? Is there a discount?
We have tried several different options with siblings and the mentors all agree that it is necessary for each student to have their own computer as sharing adds too many distractions to our online classroom. Siblings may register for the same class at Learning Corner Online if they both have their own computer. There is no discount as the mentor gives equal time and energy to each student. However, if one sibling registers and takes the class live, siblings may watch the recordings to the class at no additional charge.
