Students meet live with the teacher and a group of students. The benefits of live courses are that students have interaction with a teacher and peers in a community. Longer (multi-day, semester, and subscription) courses offer them the ability to develop relationships with their teacher and peers while studying content that builds on previous learning such as longer-range essays, projects, and assignments with teacher feedback.

Live courses can be a:

• one-time course (they only meet one time)
• multi-day course (they meet multiple times over a period of days or weeks)
• semester course (they meet for an entire semester on regularly scheduled days)
• subscription course (they meet on a regular basis, based on the subscription terms. For example, they may meet once per week, every other week, or three times per week. Payment is made per subscription terms).
