One half of the M.Ed. Our Internet courses are team-developed by the faculty of the University of Rio Grande in conjunction with subject matter experts from the New City School in St. Louis in addition to adjunct faculty from across the nation. Our courses are designed to be user-friendly and immediately applicable to your classroom. The navigational format for all of our courses is very similar. Each course is highly discussion-based.
Discussion is asynchronous, there are no specific discussion or chat times required.
If you have access to and are comfortable with surfing the Internet, have and can use a word-processing program such as Microsoft Word, and have an email account, then you have the basic tools needed to complete these courses. Access to a scanner and a digital camera would be greatly beneficial. We encourage at least a Pentium-class PC or comparable Mac. If you are using a modem, it should be at least 28,800 bps. It is greatly advantageous to have a newer browser such as Internet Explorer 4.0 or the equivalent Netscape Navigator.
