Courses Formats

Most DLs are asynchronous with a few optional live synchronous sessions woven in for guest speakers etc. Most synchronous sessions will be recorded for student who can’t attend.  During the 12 weeks student engage through weekly lessons, assignments, and discussion boards. Each course will end with a final assessment, which is typically a substantive paper or project that allows students to demonstrate their mastery of the intended learning outcomes. To receive credit for a course, students must be actively engaged virtually in every DL lesson as assigned by faculty.
