Learning Method Information

³Ô¹ÏÍ·Ìõ911 offer a convenient, yet rigorous style of learning that allows you to structure your education to suit your schedule while keeping you on pace toward achieving your educational.

Online Self-Paced

Our online self-paced courses are similar to online fixed-date courses, but are designed to give you a six-month period from time of enrollment to complete all assignments. Your instructor will provide feedback via written responses on your assignments and exams. Grades are based on completed projects, assignments and exams.

How is the self-paced course structured? Like fixed-date courses, online self-paced courses are asynchronous meaning that you can work on your assignments anytime; the difference being there are no assigned due dates in self-paced courses. The content is divided into learning modules. Each module will cover one or more topics. Within each of the learning modules, you can expect the following components:

  • Module introduction that outlines what you can expect to learn in the module.
  • Required readings (textbook, articles, journals, websites, etc.) and presentations (audio and/or video).
  • Assignments (which may include: written assignments, quizzes, blogs, etc.) based on the readings and presentations.
  • Module conclusion to review the topics and what you should have learned.
  • Typically, there is a final project, paper, or exam due in the last module that culminates all of the topics covered in each of the learning modules. You’ll find that the design of the learning modules has a rhythm to help you manage your time in the course.

Testimonials

The curriculum and assignments were perfect. I appreciated the final project (google site) being set up initially so I could systematically add to it. It helped me a lot.

I found the Google Advanced Tools course an enormous help and a great learning tool. This course was extremely well laid out and I found the instructions to follow fairly easy The tasks and practical assignments were excellent which made me practice techniques until I was comfortable with using them and could create some genuinely useful projects. I would highly recommend this course to anyone. The professor was very helpful, and the modules and assignments were well planned. I loved this course!!

Great class. I learned more than I expected.

Great way to familiarize yourself with basic google tools as we enter the unknown for the 20-21 school year.
