The basic format we use for course delivery is asynchronous utilizing an electronic learning model which consists of CD-ROMs of actual course lectures. Students receive the course syllabus at the beginning of the semester and receive CD-ROMs on a weekly basis and view the class on their computer.
Courses also make use of the internet using the department's server and electronic mail.
Some courses provide for synchronous learning via chat-rooms and the use of Blackboard. Some classes require proctored exams, for which it is the student's responsibility to secure a proctor. Students are required to sign a statement indicating that they have a computer that meets these minimum standards and the skills noted below in order to enroll in the program. In addition, candidates must be proficient in downloading files.
