Online Learning at ±¬ÁϹÏ
What is online learning?
Online learning, sometimes called distance learning, refers to educational programs conducted via the internet. Online learning has become an increasingly popular choice over the years because of the flexibility it allows in terms of scheduling and location. Online students can study from any location with an internet connection, and often do their work at times convenient for their schedules.
Students of online programs conduct their coursework online, including reading texts, seeking support, interacting with peers and instructors, etc. Online college and university programs make use of reading assignments, discussion groups, collaborative peer work, videos and other resources.

How Are Courses Structured at ±¬ÁϹÏ?
Each course is 9 weeks long and comprises 8 units of study (one per week). For undergraduate degree programs, students take an exam in the 9th week on material covered in the course. Graduate students may have exams, papers, or final projects. Students should expect to dedicate about 15 to 20 hours per week to each course.
At the beginning of each learning week, students gain access to the new unit’s educational material and the week’s writing/programming assignment. As part of the course requirements for most units of learning, students must complete an assignment. These assignments generally use a Moodle feature called Workshop, which allows for the peer assessment that is integral to the ±¬ÁÏ¹Ï learning model. In the week after an assignment is completed, three other students will assess your work and you will be expected to assess three other assignments. These reviews are compulsory as part of your own study requirements.
Additional Resources:
±¬ÁÏ¹Ï offers a series of great online resources to support students:
The course forum is the place in which to raise issues and questions relating to the course. It is regularly monitored by the instructors, and is a good place to meet fellow students taking the same course. While participation in the forum is not compulsory, it is highly recommended.
