How do online classes work? | ASU Online

Arizona State University’s online classes are designed with the student in mind. Our dynamic online college courses take place in a robust learning management system called Canvas. In Canvas, you’ll have everything you need in one place, from your dashboard and calendar to your courses and help resources.

In ASU Online’s technology-enhanced learning environment, you’ll benefit from an easy-to-use interface, high-quality media and custom-created content. You’ll also have the opportunity to engage with your peers and faculty members through virtual reality simulations, online labs, at-home dissection kits and more.

Our online college classes provide a space for connection, collaboration and community. We host a number of interactive activities so students can engage in media-rich discussions and receive authentic assessments and personalized feedback.

Best of all? You can receive a flexible, quality education from anywhere in the world.

Do classes run at a specific time that you tune into live, or are the lectures pre-recorded so you could watch them on your own time? I'm considering applying here, but I already work full-time throughout the day, so this is the main factor that'll decide whether or not it's feasible. And on that note, how do exams work?
