The [online learning] experience was excellent ...
"My first experience with online learning is the current Master's program I am in through Liberty. The experience was excellent! The flexibility of the course requirements, the positive interactions with other students in the course through Blackboard, the accessibility of the professor and the quality of the textbooks chosen were perfect. Apart from the classes, I was very impressed with the professional and friendly assistance by staff whenever I called for information or just advice."
