 How Does Online Professional Learning Work?
It is easy to participate in your online course. After you register for Online Professional Learning, you are given a web address to access your online classroom. This web address will be emailed to you from the course provider 5 days before the course start date. Your email address and password will provide you access. Once inside the online classroom, here's what you can expect.
What Can I Expect?
For each unit, you will:
- Access the online readings that are assigned.
- Listen to the audio presentation for the unit and view the slides.
- Have the option of taking a self-quiz to see how much you have learned.
- Engage in written online discussion with your instructor and other participants.
- Certificate of Completion when you have successfully completed all the requirements.
The content (readings, audio lectures, slides) and self-quizzes are accessible for the duration of the course, so you can work ahead, or go back and review again, at your convenience.
When Do I Participate?
You can participate any time of the day or evening. The online classroom is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There are no live real-time requirements or meetings. You decide when you participate.
For successful learning, participants should log into the course on 2-3 different days of the week.
Why is There a Discussion Component?
The discussion for each unit enriches everyone's learning experience and lasts one week. All written comments can be made at any time of the day or night.
Your instructor will log into the Discussion area at least once a day and answer questions, make comments, and respond to comments by you and the other participants.
We encourage you to contribute to the discussion area often to maximize yours and everyone's learning experience and enjoyment of the course.
Certificates of completion are sent out to students approximately two weeks after the class ends.
