​There are several reasons why students participate in an online college class during the summer. The main three reasons include becoming familiar with technology, earning college credit, and getting a headstart. By the time this generation of students reaches college, many of their classes will be online. For this reason, it is essential to familiarize students with the rapidly growing database of technology. By participating in online college courses, students have the opportunity to earn college credit and get a headstart on their credits to graduate.
