    "The major advantage of the on-line courses is that the work can be done at your convenience. So even though my job as a teacher, my family, and my positions as an officer in my local union and activist in my state union require a great deal of time and commitment, the on-line courses allow me the flexibilty to participate in the class whenever I had time to do so."
