If you're unfamiliar with the concept of online learning, allow us to give you a brief overview. Online courses are an exceptionally accessible, flexible resource whether your goal is gaining new drawing skills, learning to design cartoon characters or advancing your comic writing abilities.

Come to class whenever it's convenient for you by choosing when and where you participate in class. Your course is conducted according to a schedule, but there are no "live" classes to attend. Instead, lectures, coursework, and discussions all take place at your convenience. You choose the place - at home, at school - wherever you have access to a computer. You'll get the same high-quality instruction and course content that you demand, but without the day-to-day obstacles that prevent so many of us from pursuing other goals. With online learning, commuting to campus and paying for childcare are things of the past.
