This entire course is online using the BLACKBOARD Learning System also called VISTA or BLACKBOARD VISTA. Successful online learners take command of their own learning; they do not rely on being taught. Online learners bring their goals, experiences, and desire to learn with them to the classroom. They are motivated to bring something new to each and every class. Online learning in this course is asynchronous; neither students nor instructor need to be at one place at one time to participate. In other words, online learning is truly continuous — it is not confined to a class periods. One can learn and engage the course content at any time, meaning that scheduling is flexible, but there are certain deadlines that all learners must meet. Consequently, the successful online learner is self-directed and knows how to manage time effectively. |
