Course Format
EDUC 456/656: eLearning
To accommodate the needs of adult learners, the eLearning course is offered in a hybrid course format. The term hybrid means that the course combines online learning with face-to-face classroom sessions. Online you will happily find all of the learning resources, tutorials, instructional videos, assignments, and the discussion forum used in this course. In addition to these online materials, optional face-to-face sessions are held in the Pearson 007 computer lab. When this course is taught in the Fall or Spring semester, these face-to-face sessions happen Mondays at 5 PM or 6:30 PM. During Winter or Summer, they happen on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 5 PM or 6:30 PM.
During the Fall 2011 semester, these optional classroom sessions will be held in the computer lab in Pearson 007 on the following dates and times:
