Our challenge
is to create courses and programs which achieve specific educational
goals, and which are comparable in their outcomes to their residential
counterparts. That means we do not work to a single model; careful
attention is paid to the best way to teach every course. Here's
how we begin...
- Courses
are selected for their relevance to ministry and distinct
learning objectives. "Does this course meet real ministry
needs?"
- Courses
are considered for suitability to distance delivery. "How
is this course taught best?"
- Courses
are designed to include contextualized application opportunities.
"How does the student apply lessons?"
- Technologies
are chosen to optimize the delivery and learning equation.
"Which technologies are best to achieve course competencies
and learning objectives?"
- Courses
are crafted to encourage student-to-student collarboration
and community. "How do we bring people together on this issue?"
