His Stanford courses through the OHS are LIVE classes that meet twice a week for 1 hr 15 minutes each class. The class is very interactive with a central screen for lecture, a window for whomever is on the live video feed (instructor, students) a text chat box, and emoticons by the class list to raise hands, vote, etc. The weekly experiments do require adult supervision, and some outside materials. They have weekly quizzes after their second class over the weekly material and the instructor (who have PhDs in the subjects area) are very open to questions, Skype conferencing, etc. For the high school level, like chemistry biology, they have on campus labs for 2 or 3 weeks in the summer.
Classes are year long, from August through May, with midterms and finals each semester.
