How Online Master Courses Work
Courses for the Teacher Leadership Certificate are offered through a distance-learning program (Blackboard Learning System). Each student is assigned a log-on and a password that allows them to access the course content. Through the use of this instructional technology, students use e-mail, online discussion boards, and private chat rooms to interact with professors and classmates.
Following the format of a virtual classroom, all coursework is completed and submitted online. Students will participate in online lectures and discussion groups utilizing the tools in the Blackboard Learning System. Tests and quizzes are taken and submitted online. Group work is completed through online forums.
Consistent with traditional coursework students will be expected to prepare weekly assignments including text readings and other materials. Professors may post discussion topics throughout the course with a weekly response requirement. A course syllabus will be distributed in the beginning of the course outlining coursework, textbook requirements and course schedule.
