Course Structure

Each week will begin on a (day) and end on a (day), which means that new material for the week will be posted (day) morning, and all activities and assignments will be due by 11:59pm CDT on (day).

A schedule of all graded assignments is available on the "Syllabus" link from our home page.

The course content is arranged into six modules spread out across seven weeks. Although the presentation media and methods may be varied, the navigational structure will remain the same throughout the course. The goal of using a variety of instructional methods within a very structured format is to keep the learner engaged while providing consistency to ensure that time is not expended struggling with navigation or trying to determine what needs to be done.

Each module will contain 3 to 4 parts:

Part 1 includes the overview to the unit, learning outcomes/objectives, and an explanation of how the course activities relate to the learning objectives.
Part 2 includes the instructional content for the module which may vary from week to week but might include reading assignments, narrated presentations, videos, or links to resources.
Part 3 will be the summary that recalls what was learned and revisits the learning outcomes/objectives for the module.
Part 4 (if needed) includes additional resources.
