Class discussions will be conducted through the course conference for discussion of module topics and question and answer periods. In some instances, the instructor may use the class conference as an alternative and contributing method to determine learning outcome competency. Funding for this program is provided by the State of Connecticut, Department of Social Services. Internet access will be used during the first week of class, so an active Internet connection and a current e-mail address are both required before the start of class. In general, the online course format is very flexible.
Participants can plan to complete course work any time during the week at their convenience.
Students must be able to work independently and to complete any assignments according to the schedule posted by the instructors in the online course. Assignments are posted on the course Internet web site and are due to be sent via e-mail as attached files to the instructor by the due date. Students must have experience with e-mail and attached files before the course begins. Each online module will be available online for a designated period of time during which the participant must complete all assignments. Any additional time needed to complete the module requirements will be granted at the instructor's discretion.
