All fees are required prior to the first day of classes.

These courses are delivered via WebClass Live. Essentially, this delivery method allows students to connect with their instructor and classmates for live instruction via the Internet.

Students "attend" the class daily in a scheduled block in real time by watching and participating in a fully interactive live session hosted by the instructor and with students located at the NorQuest affiliated campuses across central Alberta.

ELive students view a whiteboard just like they would in a regular face-to-face class and they can hear the instructor, watch his or her writing or typing on the board, and they can ask questions using a microphone or direct messaging.

Elluminate Live supports PowerPoint, JPEGs and a variety of video file formats providing rich and sophisticated multimedia lessons that usually surpass those available in a traditional classroom setting.

All classes are recorded so students are able to review them at their convenience later.

Each WebClass (Live) course has an on-line WebCT "wraparound" component which provides communication tools - email, discussion boards, etc - as well as additional course material - review material, self-tests and other multi-media resources - for the student's use outside of the class.

All WebClass students have full access to the NorQuest College on-line tutorial centre and can participate on one-on-one sessions - using ELive-with one of the college's tutors. 

WebClass (Live) has a high rate of student retention, satisfaction and success.
