E-Learning appeals to students who seek specific learning not readily available in traditional programs, who may not be located near an institution, or who, for a variety of reasons, may wish to complete their degree by an alternative delivery system. This delivery system is not appropriate for everyone. Students who are self-motivated, independent learners will thrive in this environment.
Degree requirements are met by completing reading and writing assignments specified for each course. Exams, if a class requirement, are proctored at a testing center near the student or may be offered online. All courses have modules explaining course requirements and many courses have complementing classroom videotapes, and are web based. Students are encouraged to interact and correspond with their instructor via email, telephone, fax, or mail.
Courses are designed for completion within four months, with a maximum deadline of six months, and a degree is to be completed within seven years.
Many programs have a residency requirement students need to complete sometime during their tenure. With duration of one to four weeks, students will build community with other students and faculty, in an intensive classroom format. Students are in class for a half-day or all day and receive credit towards their program after successful completion.
The same personalized service available to on-campus students is available to the E-learner. The myriad of books, tapes, and periodicals available through the library come from a combined resource of six universities. Accessing our TOPCAT catalog program via the internet is one of many services our library has to offer.
Once a student has registered on line for a course they will receive information via email from the office of E-Learning about their instructor, course, and textbook. They have four weeks in which to acquire their texts and turn in their first assignment. Textbooks may be ordered on line through the campus bookstore.
