WebLIVE
WebLIVE classes meet online in real-time.
WebLIVE classes allow you to interact online with the instructor and classmates using free Zoom software. You will need a computer with reliable Internet access and a webcam. Some Yavapai College locations will offer Zoom enabled classrooms, or you may be able to attend class from home. WebLIVE courses usually involve some amount of online coursework.
Zoom lets you video-connect through a computer or just about any mobile device, such as a smart phone or tablet.
