Online training is a learning facilitated and supported through the use of information and communications technology. Online training, also known as e-learning, can cover a spectrum of activities from supported learning, to blended learning (the combination of traditional and online methods), to learning that is entirely online. Whatever the technology, however, learning is the vital element.

An average Stellar courses takes about 15 days to 3 months. This means that you will need to devote about 2 to 3 hours each day to the course. This figure is an average ― some weeks you will need to devote more than six hours, and some weeks you will be able to devote more hours. If you are unable to put that much time into the course, you will find it difficult to do well, or perhaps even to pass. You should either find ways to increase the amount of time you can devote to the course, or else take it at another time, when your other obligations are not so demanding.

Working at a full-time job and taking just this course at the same time is possible. Working at a part-time job and taking this course and a couple other courses is also possible. Being a parent and taking this course at the same time is also possible.

An online discussion group is a web-based forum where you can read messages posted by classmates, and post your own messages in response.

It depends on what the question is. If it’s a question whose answer might pertain to the entire class, then you should either post it to the course forum or in the online discussion group, so that everyone gets the benefit of the answer. If it’s a question that is personal in nature, then you should email the faculty.

Yes. An extension for an assignment can be granted under certain conditions:
1. First, you must have a valid reason for needing the extension.
2. You must be able to provide evidence of that reason.
3. You must make your request before the due date for the assignment.

With regard to essays, you can make up a missed assignment only under the conditions described in the question above. With regard to participation in class or in the online discussion group, you can’t make it up, for the simple reason that you can’t go back in time to when that discussion was held. Because of the short duration of our courses and the number of hours of work required in a week, you will probably find it very difficult to catch up if you have missed three full weeks. You can request the faculty to participate in the next session of the same course.
