"Effective online courses involve feedback, interaction, and content, and promote self-learning, as well as an understanding of learning styles. They foster an open curriculum, in which students learn from a variety of sources and are not limited to the scope and structure of the course. This is achieved through the use of various tools such as electronic presentation tools, online chat, whiteboard conferencing, e-mail, and Web-based resources."
